In Spanish, the numbers from zero to fifteen have their own unique names. The numbers from sixteen to nineteen have names that are really two numbers that are linked by "i". (Example- dieciocho.)
The numbers twenty-one to twenty-nine have names that consist of the names of two smaller numbers and also are joined into one word by the letter "i". (Example- veintitrés.)
Starting with thirty-one, numbers are written as separate words with a "y" between them, meaning 'and'. (Example- trienta y uno.) (Thirty-one)
In addition to counting and giving numbers, these numbers can be used to tell how many things there are;
-dos clases
-catorce libros
-viente estudiantes
Also, the number "uno" (including veintiuno, treinta y uno, etc.) becomes "una" before feminine nouns. (Example- "Tengo un hermano y una hermana."
