Questions & Answers about El hotel tiene veinticuatro cuartos y veinticinco baños.

How do you build numbers in the twenties like veinticuatro and veinticinco?
In Spanish, numbers from 21 to 29 are written as a single word. You take the word for twenty (veinte), change the final -e to an -i-, and add the single digit. So, veinte plus cuatro becomes veinticuatro, and veinte plus cinco becomes veinticinco.
Is the 'h' in hotel pronounced?
No! Just like in almost all Spanish words, the letter h is completely silent. You pronounce hotel as if it starts with the o: 'oh-TEL'.
I see cuartos used for 'rooms'. Is this related to the number four (cuatro)?
Yes! Cuarto can mean a 'room' in a house or hotel, but it also means a 'quarter' or 'fourth' (like in a fraction). Be careful not to mix up the spelling of cuarto (room/quarter) with cuatro (the number four)!
Why does the verb tiene look different from its base form?
Tiene comes from the verb tener (to have). It is an irregular 'stem-changing' verb, which means the -e- in the middle changes to -ie- when we say 'he, she, or it has'. Since the hotel is an 'it', we use tiene.
