Today we're going to continue with counting as we cover numbers 11-100. |
Let's just quickly review 0 to 10. |
0 - nulla |
1 - egy |
2 - kettő |
3 - három |
4 - négy |
5 - öt |
6 - hat |
7 - hét |
8 - nyolc |
9 - kilenc |
10 - tíz |
In Hungarian, counting from 11-20 is also quite straightforward, so let's jump right in. |
11 - tizenegy |
12 - tizenkettő |
13 - tizenhárom |
14 - tizennégy |
15 - tizenöt |
16 - tizenhat |
17 - tizenhét |
18 - tizennyolc |
19 - tizenkilenc |
20 - húsz |
As you may have noticed, from numbers 11-19 you just use the word tizen before the number you want to say. The same is true of the numbers between 21-29. Even though 20 itself is húsz, these numbers will all start with a longer form, huszon, huszonegy, huszonkettő. |
Now that we know how to do the complicated bit, let's move on to the simpler one. |
30 - harminc |
40 - negyven |
50 - ötven |
60 - hatvan |
70 - hetven |
80 - nyolcvan |
90 - kilencven |
Note that from 30 onward, you only need to add a plain number. There's no changing—it's just straightforward. |
Let's try with "fifty-three." "Fifty" is ötven and "three" is három. Putting them together, we have ötvenhárom or "fifty-three." |
Let's break down this word and see it once again. öt-ven há-rom. |
Finally, we have száz. |
100 - száz |
száz |
To count from száz onwards, you just need to add the units and the tens you have just learned. |
Let's try with some examples: |
110 - száztíz |
száztíz |
198 - százkilencvennyolc |
százkilencvennyolc |
