Take your time to practice the pronunciation and memorize these numbers. You will notice that some of them have a similar structure to their English counterparts, while others may sound quite different. This is part of the beauty of learning Latin, as it allows us to connect with the linguistic roots of many modern languages.
| viginti || ˈwi.ɡɪn.ti || twenty
 
|-


Now that we have covered the numbers from 1 to 20, let's move on to the higher numbers from 21 to 100.
| viginti unus || wi.ɡɪnˈti ˈu.nus || twenty-one


== Cardinal Numbers 21-100 ==
|-


Counting from 21 to 100 in Latin follows a particular pattern. The numbers from 21 to 29 are formed by combining the word "viginti" (twenty) with the numbers from 1 to 9. For example, 21 is "viginti unus" (twenty-one), 22 is "viginti duo" (twenty-two), and so on.
| viginti duo || wi.ɡɪnˈti ˈdu.o || twenty-two


From 30 to 39, the pattern changes slightly. The word "triginta" (thirty) is used instead of "viginti," followed by the numbers from 1 to 9. For example, 30 is "triginta unus" (thirty-one), 31 is "triginta duo" (thirty-two), and so on.
|-


Let's take a look at a table that covers the numbers from 21 to 40 to see the pattern more clearly:
| viginti tres || wi.ɡɪnˈti trɛs || twenty-three


{| class="wikitable"

| quadraginta tres || kwah-drah-gin-tah trehs || forty-three
|-
| quadraginta quattuor || kwah-drah-gin-tah kwah-too-ohr || forty-four
|-
| quadraginta quinque || kwah-drah-gin-tah kween-kweh || forty-five
|}
|}


Continue practicing and memorizing these numbers. As we progress, you will notice that the pattern repeats for each set of ten numbers, with slight variations to account for the changing tens.
As you can see, learning these numbers is a bit like putting together a puzzle. Each number builds on the previous ones.  


Now that we have covered the cardinal numbers up to 40, let's move on to the numbers from 41 to 100. The pattern for these numbers is similar to what we have seen so far. The word "quinquaginta" (fifty) is used instead of "viginti" or "triginta," followed by the numbers from 1 to 9. For example, 50 is "quinquaginta unus" (fifty-one), 51 is "quinquaginta duo" (fifty-two), and so on.
== Ordinal Numbers (1-100) ==


Let's take a look at a table that covers the numbers from 41 to 60 to further illustrate the pattern:
Now, let's take a look at ordinal numbers. These numbers indicate position rather than quantity. Here’s how the first few ordinal numbers are expressed in Latin:

| sexagesimus || sɛkˈsa.ɡɛ.sɪ.mus || sixtieth
 
|-
|-
| sexaginta quinque || seks-a-gin-tah kween-kweh || sixty-five
|}


Continue practicing and memorizing these numbers. As you can see, the pattern remains consistent, making it easier to internalize the counting system in Latin.
| septuagesimus || sɛpˈtua.ɡɛ.sɪ.mus || seventieth


== Cardinal Numbers 61-100 ==
|-


Now that we have covered the numbers up to 60, let's move on to the numbers from 61 to 100. The pattern remains the same, with the word for each set of ten followed by the numbers from 1 to 9. Let's take a look at a table that covers the numbers from 61 to 80 to demonstrate the pattern:
| octogesimus || ok.toˈɡɛ.sɪ.mus || eightieth


{| class="wikitable"

|-
| sexaginta quinque || seks-a-gin-tah kween-kweh || sixty-five
|-
| septuaginta || sep-too-a-gin-tah || seventy
|-
| septuaginta unus || sep-too-a-gin-tah oo-noos || seventy-one

| octoginta duo || ohk-toh-gin-tah doo-oh || eighty-two
|-
| octoginta tres || ohk-toh-gin-tah trehs || eighty-three
|-
| octoginta quattuor || ohk-toh-gin-tah kwah-too-ohr || eighty-four
|-
| octoginta quinque || ohk-toh-gin-tah kween-kweh || eighty-five
|}
|}


Continue practicing and memorizing these numbers. Once you reach ninety, the pattern changes slightly. The word "nonaginta" (ninety) is used instead of "novem" (nine), followed by the numbers from 1 to 9. For example, 90 is "nonaginta unus" (ninety-one), 91 is "nonaginta duo" (ninety-two), and so on.
When forming ordinal numbers, you’ll notice that they often share similar roots with cardinal numbers. This can make learning them a bit easier!

== Ordinal Numbers ==
=== Solutions to Exercise 4 ===


Now that we have covered cardinal numbers, let's move on to ordinal numbers. Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the position or order of something, such as first, second, third, and so on. In Latin, ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix "-us" or "-a" to the cardinal numbers. Let's take a look at a table that covers the ordinal numbers from 1st to 10th to see the pattern:
1. Viginti est numerus.


{| class="wikitable"
2. Triginta quinque sunt in mensa.
! Latin !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| primus || pree-moos || first
|-
| secundus || seh-koon-doos || second
|-
| tertius || tehr-tee-oos || third
|-
| quartus || kwahr-toos || fourth
|-
| quintus || kween-toos || fifth
|-
| sextus || sehk-stoos || sixth
|-
| septimus || sep-tee-moos || seventh
|-
| octavus || ohk-tah-voos || eighth
|-
| nonus || noh-noos || ninth
|-
| decimus || deh-kee-moos || tenth
|}


As you can see, the formation of ordinal numbers is relatively straightforward. Simply add the appropriate suffix to the cardinal number, and you have the corresponding ordinal number. For example, "primus" (first) is formed by adding "-us" to "unus" (one), and "secundus" (second) is formed by adding "-us" to "duo" (two).
3. Octoginta quattuor est in libris.


Now that you are familiar with the formation of ordinal numbers, let's practice using them in sentences.
4. Centum est magnum numerus.


== Cultural Insights and Interesting Facts ==
5. Quattuordecim sunt in sacco.


Numbers hold significant cultural and historical importance in any language, and Latin is no exception. In ancient Rome, numbers played a crucial role in various aspects of daily life, from commerce and trade to religious ceremonies and political events.
=== Solutions to Exercise 5 ===


One interesting fact is that the Romans did not have a symbol for zero. Instead, they used the word "nullus" (none) to represent the absence of a quantity. The concept of zero as a numerical value was introduced to Europe much later, through interactions with other cultures.
Unus, duo, tres, quattuor, quinque, sex, septem, octo, novem, decem.


Roman numerals, which are still used today in various contexts, originated from the Etruscan numerical system. The Romans adopted and modified these symbols to create their own unique system. Roman numerals are often seen in architectural structures, clock faces, and the names of monarchs or popes.
=== Solutions to Exercise 6 ===


The understanding and usage of numbers in Latin can also provide insights into the Roman worldview. For example, the number three (tres) was considered a sacred number in ancient Roman religion, representing the three main deities: Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. The number seven (septem) was also significant, symbolizing the seven hills of Rome and the seven days of the week.
1. Primus

Latin → Vocabulary → 0 to A1 Course → Numbers 1-100

Welcome to our exciting lesson on counting in Latin! Understanding numbers is not just about being able to tally things up; it’s a foundational skill that will enhance your ability to engage with the Latin language and culture. Whether you're ordering food, discussing time, or diving into ancient texts, knowing your numbers is essential.

In this lesson, we’ll journey through the numbers 1 to 100, focusing on both cardinal and ordinal numbers. Cardinal numbers are the basic numbers we use for counting, while ordinal numbers tell us the position or rank of something (like first, second, third, etc.). By the end of this lesson, you will not only be able to count in Latin, but you will also understand the significance of these numbers in everyday conversation.

Let's dive right in!

Importance of Numbers in Latin[edit | edit source]

Numbers are fundamental in any language. They provide a way to quantify and express ideas clearly. In Latin, numbers also have historical significance, appearing in various texts, from mathematical writings to poetry and rhetoric. By mastering numbers, you're not just learning a language—you're unlocking a doorway to understanding the Roman world.

Structure of the Lesson[edit | edit source]

This lesson is structured as follows:

  • Cardinal Numbers (1-100)
  • Ordinal Numbers (1-100)
  • Practice Exercises
  • Detailed Solutions and Explanations

Cardinal Numbers (1-100)[edit | edit source]

Let's start with cardinal numbers. Cardinal numbers express quantity. Here are the numbers from 1 to 100 in Latin:

Latin Pronunciation English
unus ˈu.nus one
duo ˈdu.o two
tres trɛs three
quattuor ˈkwat.tu.or four
quinque ˈkwɪŋ.kwe five
sex sɛks six
septem ˈsɛp.tem seven
octo ˈok.to eight
novem ˈno.vɛm nine
decem ˈde.kɛm ten
undecim unˈde.kɪm eleven
duodecim du.oˈde.kɪm twelve
tredecim treˈde.kɪm thirteen
quattuordecim kwatˈtu.or.de.kɪm fourteen
quindecim kwinˈde.kɪm fifteen
sedecim seˈde.kɪm sixteen
septendecim sepˈten.de.kɪm seventeen
duodeviginti du.o.deˈwiɡ.ɪn.ti eighteen
undeviginti un.deˈwiɡ.ɪn.ti nineteen
viginti ˈwi.ɡɪn.ti twenty
viginti unus wi.ɡɪnˈti ˈu.nus twenty-one
viginti duo wi.ɡɪnˈti ˈdu.o twenty-two
viginti tres wi.ɡɪnˈti trɛs twenty-three
viginti quattuor wi.ɡɪnˈti ˈkwat.tu.or twenty-four
viginti quinque wi.ɡɪnˈti ˈkwɪŋ.kwe twenty-five
triginta ˈtri.ɡɪn.tɑ thirty
quadraginta kwaˈdra.ɡɪn.tɑ forty
quinquaginta kwin.kwaˈɡɪn.tɑ fifty
sexaginta sɛkˈsa.ɡɪn.tɑ sixty
septuaginta sɛpˈtua.ɡɪn.tɑ seventy
octoginta ok.toˈɡɪn.tɑ eighty
nonaginta no.nɑˈɡɪn.tɑ ninety
centum ˈkɛn.tum one hundred

As you can see, learning these numbers is a bit like putting together a puzzle. Each number builds on the previous ones.

Ordinal Numbers (1-100)[edit | edit source]

Now, let's take a look at ordinal numbers. These numbers indicate position rather than quantity. Here’s how the first few ordinal numbers are expressed in Latin:

Latin Pronunciation English
primus ˈpri.mus first
secundus sɛˈkun.dus second
tertius ˈtɛr.ti.us third
quartus ˈkwar.tus fourth
quintus ˈkwɪn.tus fifth
sextus ˈsɛks.tus sixth
septimus ˈsɛp.ti.mus seventh
octavus okˈta.vus eighth
nonus ˈno.nus ninth
decimus ˈdɛ.kɪ.mus tenth
undecimus unˈde.kɪ.mus eleventh
duodecimus du.oˈde.kɪ.mus twelfth
tertius decimus ˈtɛr.ti.us deˈkɪ.mus thirteenth
quadragesimus kwaˈdra.ɡɛ.sɪ.mus fortieth
quinquagesimus kwin.kwaˈɡɛ.sɪ.mus fiftieth
sexagesimus sɛkˈsa.ɡɛ.sɪ.mus sixtieth
septuagesimus sɛpˈtua.ɡɛ.sɪ.mus seventieth
octogesimus ok.toˈɡɛ.sɪ.mus eightieth
nonagesimus no.nɑˈɡɛ.sɪ.mus ninetieth
centesimus kɛnˈtɛ.sɪ.mus one hundredth

When forming ordinal numbers, you’ll notice that they often share similar roots with cardinal numbers. This can make learning them a bit easier!
