As a Modern Greek (1453-) language teacher of 20 years, I know that numbers are essential in any language. In this lesson, you will learn the basic vocabulary and phrases to count up to 100 in Greek. Let's get started!

Cardinal Numbers
Cardinal numbers are used to represent the quantity of things. Here are the numbers one to ten:
| Modern Greek (1453-) | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ένα | éna | one |
| δύο | dýo | two |
| τρία | tría | three |
| τέσσερα | téssera | four |
| πέντε | pénte | five |
| έξι | éxi | six |
| επτά | eptá | seven |
| οκτώ | októ | eight |
| εννέα | ennéa | nine |
| δέκα | déka | ten |
After 10, we use a combination of words to create numbers:
| Modern Greek (1453-) | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| έντεκα | éndeka | eleven |
| δώδεκα | dódeka | twelve |
| δεκατρία | dekatría | thirteen |
| δεκατέσσερα | dekatéssera | fourteen |
| δεκαπέντε | dekapénte | fifteen |
| δεκαέξι | dekaéxi | sixteen |
| δεκαεπτά | dekaeptá | seventeen |
| δεκαοκτώ | dekaoktó | eighteen |
| δεκαεννέα | dekaennéa | nineteen |
| είκοσι | íkosi | twenty |
From twenty-one to ninety-nine, we follow a simple pattern: the number corresponds to the tens, followed by the number of units. For example, twenty-two is δύο και είκοσι, which means 2 and 20. Here is a table with the numbers from 20 to 90:
| Modern Greek (1453-) | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| είκοσι | íkosi | twenty |
| τριάντα | triánta | thirty |
| σαράντα | saránta | forty |
| πενήντα | penínta | fifty |
| εξήντα | exínta | sixty |
| εβδομήντα | evdomínta | seventy |
| ογδόντα | ogdónta | eighty |
| ενενήντα | enenínta | ninety |
For example, sixty-two is εξήντα δύο (exínta dýo), which means 60 and 2.
Finally, here are the numbers one hundred:
| Modern Greek (1453-) | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| εκατό | ekató | one hundred |
Ordinal Numbers
Ordinal numbers are used to show the position of objects in a sequence. Here are the first ten ordinal numbers:
| Modern Greek (1453-) | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| πρώτος | prótos | first |
| δεύτερος | deftéros | second |
| τρίτος | trítos | third |
| τέταρτος | tétartos | fourth |
| πέμπτος | pémtos | fifth |
| έκτος | éktos | sixth |
| έβδομος | évdomos | seventh |
| οκτάβος | oktávos | eighth |
| ένατος | énatos | ninth |
| δέκατος | dékatos | tenth |
Note that ordinal numbers agree with the grammatical gender of the noun they describe. For example, to say "the first book" in Greek, we would say το πρώτο βιβλίο (to próto vivlío), where πρώτο agrees with το βιβλίο, which is neuter in Greek.
Summary
In this lesson, you have learned the basics of counting in Greek up to 100, as well as the first ten ordinal numbers.
