How to read complex numerals in Italian. Numbers in Italian
There are two types of numerals: quantitative(one, two, three, etc.) and ordinal(first, second, third, etc.). We won’t talk about ordinal ones for now, but we’ll deal with quantitative ones. So…
Numbers from 1 to 10
1 - uno
2 - due
3 - tre
4 - quattro
5 - cinque
6 - sei
7 - sette
8 - otto
10 - dieci
Try to teach them (and at the same time their correct pronunciation) with a smiling signora on video. Our numbers are ringing from 0:37 seconds to 1:50.
To help you remember these prime numbers, look at this funny picture:
11 - undici
12 - dodici
13 - tredici
14 - quattordici
15 - quindici
16 - sedici
17 - diciassette
18 - diciotto
19
20 - venti
Now let’s listen to how they are pronounced (watch the video from 0:40 to 2.10). After the signora pronounces the numbers, you will have time to name them yourself.

* Click “Check” (check)
Rules:
* You can turn on “Slideshow” - the cards will change by themselves, they will pronounce words to you, nothing is required from you - just relax and remember.
Tens in Italian (from 10 to 100)
10 - dieci
20 - venti
30 - trenta
40 - quaranta
50 - cinquanta
60 - sessanta
70 - settanta
80 - ottanta
100 - cento
200 - duecento
300 - trecento
1000 - mille
2000 - duemila
1000 000 - one million
2000 000 – due milioni
* Click "Start"
* Listen to the numeral. It is also written on the weight on the bar (in numbers). Find this number on the second weight - these are the balls below (written in words).
* Put the weight with the desired number on the barbell - just move the desired ball.
The boy in the game sometimes says something. Here's what you'll hear:
Facile! - Easily!
Guarda, ce la faccio! - Look, I can do it!
Mica male, eh? - Not bad, huh?
Impossible! - Impossible!
Now let’s see how “complex” numbers such as 23, 46, etc. are formed.
Everything is very simple: WE TAKE TEN AND ADD THE REQUIRED NUMBER TO IT.
For example: 23 = 20 (venti) + 3 (tre) = VENTITRE
46 = 40 (quaranta) + 6 (sei) = QUARANTASEI
Exceptions are only numbers that include "one" (uno) And "eight" (otto) because they start with vowel sound. Therefore, the numbers with them will sound a little different. Look:
61 = 60 (sessanta) + 1 (uno) = SESSANTUNO(we "removed" the last letter "a" in the word "sessanta").
38 = 30 (trenta) + 8 (0tto) = TRENTOTTO(we have again "removed" the last letter "a" in the word "trenta").
Play this game to practice:
Rules:
* Select mode - slow or fast.
* They write the number to you in letters and pronounce it (at the top).
* Find the corresponding number among the numbers (below) and click it.
* This game is for a while; if you don’t have time to find the right answer, the numbers will be mixed up.
* In the second round you will have to search in reverse: they show you a number in numbers - you look for it in letters.
Rules:
* Select easy (simple) or hard (difficult) mode.
* They write the number to you in letters and pronounce it.
* You must enter the stretch with this number written in numbers.
* Control - arrow keys on the keyboard. To speed up, press the up arrow.
The rules are very simple:
* Look at the "List View" (list of words for the lesson). Click on the speaker next to a word and listen to how it sounds.
* If you wish, you can turn on “Slideshow” - the cards will change by themselves, they will pronounce words to you, nothing is required from you - relax and remember.
* Click “Start Lesson” - and memorize the words using the test.
Numeral
There is a distinction between cardinal and ordinal numbers. Cardinal numerals denote the number of objects expressed in numbers (uno, due, tre, cinque, etc.); ordinal numbers indicate the place occupied by an object when counting (primo, secondo, terzo). Cardinal numbers also include fractional and multiplying numbers.
Cardinal numbers
| 1 - un (una) 2 - due 3 - tre 4 - quattro 5 - cinque 6 - sei 7 - sette 8 - otto 9 - new 10 - dieci 11 - undici 12 - dodici 13 - tredici 14 - quattordici 15 - quindici 16 - sedici 17 - diciassette 18 - diciotto 19 - diciannove 20 - venti |
21 - ventuno 22 - ventilation 23 - ventilation 24 - ventiquattro 30 - trenta 40 - quaranta 50 - cinquanta |
101 - centuno 102 - centodue 200 - duecento 10,000 - diecimila 1000 000 000 - un miliardo |
Compound numbers are written together:
1961 - millenovecentosessantuno
After compound numerals ending in -uno, the noun can be singular, and -uno agrees in gender with the noun:
Quarantun giorno
Trentuna settimana
In most cases, the article is not placed before a cardinal number, except in the following situations:
if the numeral indicates the entire quantity available:
Gli otto impiegati- All eight employees
I dieci nipotini- All ten grandchildren
2. When indicating the century, starting from the thirteenth, where the following forms are used:
Il Duecento (il "200) - il tredicesimo secolo - thirteenth century
Il Trecento (il "300) - il quattordicesimo secolo - fourteenth century
Il Quattrocento (il "400) - il quindicesimo secolo - fifteenth century, etc.
When indicating the date, all numbers (except the first) are expressed as cardinal numbers with a definite article:
Il due settembre, il quindici ottobre, l"otto marzo; But: il primo arpile (dicembre, gennaio...);
Constructions with numerals denoting periods, periods of time:
Gli anni venti- Twenties
Gli anni trenta (quaranta, ottanta ess.)- Thirties (forties, eighties, etc.)
Numerical indications of time (hours):
Sono le due (tre, quattro...) - It’s two (three, four...) hours now
È l "una e mezzo - Half past one
Sono le due meno cinque - Five to two
As can be seen from the examples, when indicating the hour, numerals with a feminine definite article (l "una, le due) are used, since the word itself ora(hour) is a feminine noun.
Cardinal numbers, as a rule, do not change according to gender and number. The exceptions are:
masculine numeral uno(one), which has the corresponding feminine form una(one). Numerals un(una) depending on the initial sounds of the noun they define, they change their forms similarly to the singular indefinite article, with which they formally coincide:
The numeral mille varies by number and has an irregular plural form: mila
Mille euro- One thousand euros
Duemila euro- Two thousand euros
There are no prepositions between numerals and nouns. The exception is un million And un miliardo, which are nouns. An article is placed before them, and after them, before the noun, a preposition di:
Un million di euro- Million euros
Due miliardi di persone- Two billion people
In Italian there is a construction " in + cardinal number", which in Russian is translated as follows:
Siamo in due (tre, quattro...)- There are two of us (three, four...)
Ci sono andati in tre.- The three of them went there.

Numeral . Numerale.
There are an infinite number of numerals, as well as the numbers themselves))) To start, you need to learn quantitative and ordinal. In writing, numbers are written both in numbers and letters))) With quantitative ones, everything is clear - 1, 2, 3... But for ordinal ones there are differences: in Russian - 1st/-th/-th/-s... etc .d., and in Italian - 1˚, 2˚, 3˚... That is, after the number there is a degree symbol.
These are what they are numerals:
(name) numeral - numerale
quantitative - numerali cardinali
ordinal - numerali ordinali
fractional - numerali fractionari
multiplicative - n died moltiplicativi
collective - numerali collettivi
And numbers:
number
number - cifra
natural - numero naturale
whole - numero intero
even - n die pari
odd - n die dispari
Ordinal numbers from 1 to 9 have their own forms, further ones are formed using the suffix -esimo, but some changes are possible at the addition boundary (see below).
An exceptional case is the “thousandth” numerals, when 1000 ((one) thousand) is mill e, and 2000, etc. —duemil a ecc.
Calendar days. The first day of the month is designated by an ordinal number - 1˚ (primo) gennaio, and starting from the second day - by quantitative numbers - 2 (due) gennaio ecc.
An interesting feature exists among the numerals that designate centuries (centuries) of the past millennium. In Russian they denote the current period, and in Italian they came up with the idea of denoting the number of hundreds in a number. It turns out literally the following: il Novecento (lit. nine hundred) = 20th century. But at the same time, no one canceled the standard names: il XX secolo, which are also suitable for all other centuries.
In Italian, all numbers are written together (twenty-one - ventuno), and when they say a phone number, as a rule, they pronounce each number separately.
Cardinal numbers do not change (the only exception for 1 is uno, un / una, un’ - one / one), but ordinal numbers are consistent and change the ending depending on the gender or number.
