Frequently Asked Questions

Master grammar rules, agreement, and punctuation nuances with Spanish numbers.

Numbers between 16 and 29 are combined into a single word rather than written as separate words with conjunctions.

16 to 19: Combine diez y... into the single prefix dieci- followed by the number, such as dieciséis (16) and diecinueve (19).
21 to 29: Combine veinte y... into the single prefix veinti- followed by the number, such as veintiuno (21) and veintisiete (27).
Accent marks: Keep in mind that dieciséis, veintidós, veintitrés, and veintiséis carry written accent marks on the final syllable.

The number 1 (and compound numbers ending in 1, such as 21, 31, or 101) agrees in gender with the noun it modifies.

Before a masculine noun: uno shortens to un (e.g., un libro, veintiún pesos).
Before a feminine noun: uno changes to una (e.g., una casa, treinta y una páginas).
When counting alone: Use the standalone form uno when stating numbers in sequence without a noun following.

The Spanish word for 100 has two distinct forms depending on how it appears in a sentence.

Cien: Used for exactly 100 before a noun, adjective, or when standing alone (e.g., cien euros, cien por ciento).
Ciento: Used for numbers between 101 and 199 when followed by lower numbers (e.g., ciento uno, ciento cincuenta).
Plural hundreds: Multiples of 100 (200, 300, etc.) change gender to match the noun, such as doscientas personas or quinientos dólares.

Punctuation conventions for large numbers and decimals vary across the Spanish-speaking world.

Decimal separator: Spain and several South American countries use a comma for decimals (e.g., 3,14 for 3.14).
Thousands separator: Spain and parts of South America use a period or thin space for thousands (e.g., 1.000 or 1 000 for 1,000).
North & Central America: Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean generally follow the US format, using commas for thousands and periods for decimals (e.g., 1,000.50).

The word un billón is a well-known false friend between English and Spanish.

Spanish 'un billón': Refers to a million millions (1,000,000,000,000), which corresponds to one trillion in modern English.
English 'one billion': In Spanish, 1,000,000,000 (one thousand million) is called mil millones or occasionally un millardo.
Translation tip: When translating financial reports, translate English 'billion' as mil millones to avoid multiplying values by one thousand!
