Count to one hundred to express larger amounts, state prices, and give your age.

To ask "how many," use **quanto**. Before plural nouns, it agrees in gender: **quanti** (masculine) and **quante** (feminine).

In Italian, you don't "be" an age; you "have" years. Ask someone's age using **avere** (to have) and **anni** (years).

### The Tens (30 to 100)

Notice how the numbers from forty to ninety all end in **-anta**.

| Number | Italian |
|---|---|
| 30 | trenta |
| 40 | quaranta |
| 50 | cinquanta |
| 60 | sessanta |
| 70 | settanta |
| 80 | ottanta |
| 90 | novanta |
| 100 | cento |

### Combining Tens and Single Digits

Tens and single digits merge into a single word. Drop the final vowel of the ten before **uno** (1) and **otto** (8):

- *venti* + *uno* = **ventuno**
- *venti* + *otto* = **ventotto**
- *trenta* + *uno* = **trentuno**

Before masculine nouns like *anni*, compound numbers ending in *-uno* drop their final *o* (**ventun anni**).

{{item:803879}}

{{item:803881}}

For all other digits, attach the number without dropping any letters (e.g., *trenta* + *cinque* = **trentacinque**).
