=== Numbers from 1 to 10 === | |||
Let's start with the basics: the numbers from '''1 to 10''' in Romanian. Below is a table that illustrates these numbers along with their pronunciation and English translations. | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Romanian !! Pronunciation !! English | ! Romanian !! Pronunciation !! English | ||
|- | |||
| unu || /ˈunu/ || one | |||
|- | |||
| doi || /doi/ || two | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| trei || /trej/ || three | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| patru || /ˈpatru/ || four | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| cinci || /tʃintʃ/ || five | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| șase || /ˈʃase/ || six | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| șapte || /ˈʃapte/ || seven | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| opt || /opt/ || eight | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| nouă || /ˈno.ə/ || nine | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| zece || /ˈzetʃe/ || ten | |||
|} | |||
These numbers are essential as they form the foundation for counting and will be used frequently in our exercises. | |||
=== Counting Beyond 10 === | |||
Once you’re comfortable with the numbers from 1 to 10, it's time to expand your counting skills. Numbers in Romanian follow a specific pattern after ten. | |||
* '''11''' is '''unsprezece''' (pronounced /unspreˈze.tʃe/) | |||
* '''12''' is '''doisprezece''' (pronounced /doispreˈze.tʃe/) | |||
* '''20''' is '''douăzeci''' (pronounced /ˈdo.ə.ze.tʃi/) | |||
The pattern continues similarly, so: | |||
* '''21''' is '''douăzeci și unu''' (twenty and one) | |||
* '''22''' is '''douăzeci și doi''' (twenty and two) | |||
* '''30''' is '''treizeci''' (thirty) | |||
Here’s a table to illustrate numbers from 11 to 30: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Romanian !! Pronunciation !! English | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| unsprezece || /unspreˈze.tʃe/ || eleven | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| doisprezece || /doispreˈze.tʃe/ || twelve | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| treisprezece || /treispreˈze.tʃe/ || thirteen | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| paisprezece || /pai̯spreˈze.tʃe/ || fourteen | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| cincisprezece || /tʃinʧispreˈze.tʃe/ || fifteen | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| șaisprezece || /ˈʃaispreˈze.tʃe/ || sixteen | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| săptisprezece || /ˈʃapti̯spreˈze.tʃe/ || seventeen | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| optsprezece || /opspreˈze.tʃe/ || eighteen | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| nouăsprezece || /ˈno.əspreˈze.tʃe/ || nineteen | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| douăzeci || /ˈdo.ə.ze.tʃi/ || twenty | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| douăzeci și unu || /ˈdo.ə.ze.tʃi ʃi ˈunu/ || twenty-one | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| douăzeci și doi || /ˈdo.ə.ze.tʃi ʃi doi/ || twenty-two | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| treizeci || /treiˈze.tʃi/ || thirty | |||
|} | |} | ||
This pattern will help you not only with counting but also with understanding higher numbers as you progress in your studies. | |||
=== Practical Examples === | |||
Understanding numbers is one thing, but applying them in conversation is another. Here are some practical examples where you can use these numbers in context: | |||
1. When shopping: | |||
* ''Cât costă?'' (How much does it cost?) | |||
* ''Costă cinci lei.'' (It costs five lei.) | |||
2. When telling time: | |||
* ''Este două.'' (It is two o'clock.) | |||
* ''Este zece și jumătate.'' (It is ten thirty.) | |||
3. When making plans: | |||
* ''Vino la mine la patru.'' (Come to my place at four.) | |||
* ''Mă întâlnesc cu prietenii la șapte.'' (I meet with friends at seven.) | |||
4. When talking about age: | |||
* ''Am douăzeci de ani.'' (I am twenty years old.) | |||
* ''El are zece ani.'' (He is ten years old.) | |||
5. When asking for quantities: | |||
* ''Vreau trei mere.'' (I want three apples.) | |||

Welcome to our lesson on Romanian Vocabulary focusing on Numbers and Counting! This lesson is crucial for anyone embarking on their journey to learn Romanian, as numbers are fundamental in everyday communication. Whether you're shopping, telling time, or just trying to navigate through conversations, knowing how to count in Romanian will empower you to express yourself more confidently.
In this lesson, we will:
- Explore the numbers from 1 to 10.
- Discuss counting in various contexts.
- Provide practical examples and exercises to reinforce your learning.
By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of basic numbers in Romanian and how to use them in different situations.
Numbers from 1 to 10[edit | edit source]
Let's start with the basics: the numbers from 1 to 10 in Romanian. Below is a table that illustrates these numbers along with their pronunciation and English translations.
Romanian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
unu | /ˈunu/ | one |
doi | /doi/ | two |
trei | /trej/ | three |
patru | /ˈpatru/ | four |
cinci | /tʃintʃ/ | five |
șase | /ˈʃase/ | six |
șapte | /ˈʃapte/ | seven |
opt | /opt/ | eight |
nouă | /ˈno.ə/ | nine |
zece | /ˈzetʃe/ | ten |
These numbers are essential as they form the foundation for counting and will be used frequently in our exercises.
Counting Beyond 10[edit | edit source]
Once you’re comfortable with the numbers from 1 to 10, it's time to expand your counting skills. Numbers in Romanian follow a specific pattern after ten.
- 11 is unsprezece (pronounced /unspreˈze.tʃe/)
- 12 is doisprezece (pronounced /doispreˈze.tʃe/)
- 20 is douăzeci (pronounced /ˈdo.ə.ze.tʃi/)
The pattern continues similarly, so:
- 21 is douăzeci și unu (twenty and one)
- 22 is douăzeci și doi (twenty and two)
- 30 is treizeci (thirty)
Here’s a table to illustrate numbers from 11 to 30:
Romanian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
unsprezece | /unspreˈze.tʃe/ | eleven |
doisprezece | /doispreˈze.tʃe/ | twelve |
treisprezece | /treispreˈze.tʃe/ | thirteen |
paisprezece | /pai̯spreˈze.tʃe/ | fourteen |
cincisprezece | /tʃinʧispreˈze.tʃe/ | fifteen |
șaisprezece | /ˈʃaispreˈze.tʃe/ | sixteen |
săptisprezece | /ˈʃapti̯spreˈze.tʃe/ | seventeen |
optsprezece | /opspreˈze.tʃe/ | eighteen |
nouăsprezece | /ˈno.əspreˈze.tʃe/ | nineteen |
douăzeci | /ˈdo.ə.ze.tʃi/ | twenty |
douăzeci și unu | /ˈdo.ə.ze.tʃi ʃi ˈunu/ | twenty-one |
douăzeci și doi | /ˈdo.ə.ze.tʃi ʃi doi/ | twenty-two |
treizeci | /treiˈze.tʃi/ | thirty |
This pattern will help you not only with counting but also with understanding higher numbers as you progress in your studies.

2. When telling time:

- Este zece și jumătate. (It is ten thirty.)
3. When making plans:
- Vino la mine la patru. (Come to my place at four.)
