German Numbers
Regardless of whether you're actually studying German, or planning to visit the country, numbers are a common and essential part of the German language.
| 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
null eins zwei drei vier fünf sechs sieben acht neun zehn |
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
elf zwölf dreizehn vierzehn fünfzehn sechzehn siebzehn achtzehn neunzehn zwanzig |
While the numbers above may not seem all that different to English, in German, the numbers from 21-99 are a little different. For example, fifty six is sechsundfünfzig (6 and 50). 99 would be neunundneunzig (9 and 90). Straight forward isn't it?
| 21 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 1000 2006 1,000,000 |
einundzwanzig dreißig vierzig fünfzig sechzig siebzig achtzig neunzig hundert tausend zweitausendsechs million |
| first second third fourth fifth once twice |
erste zweite dritte vierte fünfte einmal zweimal |
