Numbers in Spanish: Starting with the Number One
Notice that the number one above has two options: "un" and "uno".
Technically, there is yet another option: "una" (the feminine equivalent of each).
They all mean "one" but are used under different circumstances. Tricky, huh?
No, it doesn't have to be.


"Un" is used where in English we could replace it with "a" to mean the same
thing.
Here's an example.
In English:
"I have a white cat" or "I have one white cat."
In Spanish:
"Yo tengo un gato blanco."
(There's only one way to say it in Spanish. The context of the conversation will
determine whether "un" means "a" or "one".)
Los números

"Uno" is always used without a noun.
This means that it must have no noun directly after it
(although other kinds of words may follow it).

Here are some examples.
In English:
"Do you have two dogs?" "No, I have one."
In Spanish:
"¿Tú tienes dos perros?" "No, yo tengo uno."
In English:
"I have a white cat." "I have a white one too."
In Spanish:
"Yo tengo un gato blanco." "Yo tengo uno blanco también."
Los números

Note: The second example shows how to say "a white one" in
Spanish - you simply say "uno blanco" ("one white").
To say "two white ones" in Spanish, you say "dos blancos"
("two whites") - notice that "white" also becomes plural.
"Three white ones" is "tres blancos" ("three whites"), etc.

In the last example above, notice how "un" is used in the first
sentence because it is followed by a noun, but "uno" is used
in the second sentence because it is not followed by a noun in that particular example it is followed by an adjective.
Los números

"Una" is the feminine version for both of the above.
In other words, "una" can mean both "one" and "a" and it is used
both with and without nouns after it.

Here's an example.
In English:
"I have a white house." "I have a white one too."
In Spanish:
"Yo tengo una casa blanca." "Yo tengo una blanca también."
Remember that, in Spanish, "una" must be used because "la casa" is
feminine. All genders must agree.
If in doubt, here's a simpler way to work out which to use ...
Los números
 In
your sentence, if "one" can be
replaced with "a" in English to mean
the same thing (or vice versa), then
use "un" or "una" in Spanish.
In your sentence, if "one" cannot be
replaced with "a" in English, then use
"uno" or "una" in Spanish.
un / uno / una
un chico
una chica
¿Cuántos chicos hay? uno
Los números (30 – 100)
30 – treinta
40 – cuarenta
50 – cincuenta
60 – sesenta
70 – setenta
80 – ochenta
90 – noventa
100 – cien
101 –
ciento uno
Los números
Starting with 31, numbers with names
that combine two smaller numbers are
joined with a y and written as separate
words.
Modelo: = 41 cuarenta y uno
Modelo: = 53 cincuenta y tres
 For numbers from 101 to199, use ciento
(instead of cien) for 100
Ejemplo: = 111 ciento once

How would you diagram the pattern for
writing numbers in the Spanish?
1 – 15
have their own unique
names.
16 – 29
have names that are
really two numbers
linked by i (which means
“and”) and is written as
one word
31 – 99
have names that are really two numbers linked
with a y (which means “and”) and are written as
three separate words.
