To Count Numbers

Numbers are important when you are giving your mobile number, while calculating your money, for simple addition and subtraction etc. Learning Portuguese numbers are easy. So, let’s count numbers: números da contagem!

Numbers 0 – 15

0 - zero
1- um / uma 2 - dois / duas
3 - três
4 - quatro
5 - cinco
6 - seis
7 - sete
8 - oito
9 - nove
10 – dez
11 - onze
12 - doze
13 - treze
14 - catorze
15 - quinze

The names of number 1 and 2 vary according to gender. The numbers 1- 15 have to be simply learned and understood, while numbers 16- 19 are shaped by the name of the unit digit to the stem dez- (10), although in few cases –as- or –a- are placed between the two parts.

Numbers 16 – 40
16 - dezasseis
17 - dezassete
18 - dezoito
19 - dezanove
20 - vinte
21 - vinte e um
22 - vinte e dois
23 - vinte e três
24 - vinte e quatro
25 - vinte cinco
26 - vinte seis
27 - vinte sete

One must have noticed that while forming most numbers the word e (and) is included between the two parts. For example: 28 is vinte e oito, 32 is trinta e dois.
