== Cardinal Numbers 1-20 == | |||
We will begin our journey by exploring the cardinal numbers from 1 to 20 in Latin. These numbers are the building blocks of the rest of the counting system, so it's important to familiarize yourself with them before moving on to higher numbers. Let's take a look at the table below to see how they are written and pronounced in Latin: | |||

|- | |||
| viginti || vee-geen-tee || twenty | |||
|} | |||
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. | |||
Now that we have covered the numbers from 1 to 20, let's move on to the higher numbers from 21 to 100. | |||
== 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. | |||
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: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Latin !! Pronunciation !! English Translation | |||
|- | |||
| viginti unus || vee-geen-tee oo-noos || twenty-one | |||
|- | |||
| viginti duo || vee-geen-tee doo-oh || twenty-two | |||
|- | |||
| viginti tres || vee-geen-tee trehs || twenty-three | |||
|- | |||
| viginti quattuor || vee-geen-tee kwah-too-ohr || twenty-four | |||
|- | |||
| viginti quinque || vee-geen-tee kween-kweh || twenty-five | |||
|- | |||
| triginta || tree-gin-tah || thirty | |||
|- | |||
| triginta unus || tree-gin-tah oo-noos || thirty-one | |||
|- | |||
| triginta duo || tree-gin-tah doo-oh || thirty-two | |||
|- | |||
| triginta tres || tree-gin-tah trehs || thirty-three | |||
|- | |||
| triginta quattuor || tree-gin-tah kwah-too-ohr || thirty-four | |||
|- | |||
| triginta quinque || tree-gin-tah kween-kweh || thirty-five | |||
|- | |||
| quadraginta || kwah-drah-gin-tah || forty | |||
|- | |||
| quadraginta unus || kwah-drah-gin-tah oo-noos || forty-one | |||
|- | |||
| quadraginta duo || kwah-drah-gin-tah doo-oh || forty-two | |||
|- | |||
| 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. | |||
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. | |||
Let's take a look at a table that covers the numbers from 41 to 60 to further illustrate the pattern: | |||

|- | |||
| sexaginta quinque || seks-a-gin-tah kween-kweh || sixty-five | |||

|- | |||
| 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. | |||
Let's take a look at a table that covers the numbers from 91 to 100 to see the pattern more clearly: | |||

Congratulations! You have now learned how to count from 1 to 100 in Latin using cardinal numbers. | |||
== Ordinal Numbers == | == Ordinal Numbers == | ||
Ordinal numbers are used to | 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: | ||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! 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). | |||
Now that you are familiar with the formation of ordinal numbers, let's practice using them in sentences. | |||
== Cultural Insights and Interesting Facts == | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently count from 1 to 100 in Latin, recognize ordinal numbers, and appreciate the cultural significance of numbers in ancient Rome. So let's get started!
Cardinal Numbers 1-20[edit | edit source]
We will begin our journey by exploring the cardinal numbers from 1 to 20 in Latin. These numbers are the building blocks of the rest of the counting system, so it's important to familiarize yourself with them before moving on to higher numbers. Let's take a look at the table below to see how they are written and pronounced in Latin:
Latin | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
unus | oo-noos | one |
duo | doo-oh | two |
tres | trehs | three |

duodeviginti | doo-oh-deh-vee-geen-tee | eighteen |
undeviginti | oon-deh-vee-geen-tee | nineteen |
viginti | vee-geen-tee | twenty |
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.
Now that we have covered the numbers from 1 to 20, let's move on to the higher numbers from 21 to 100.
Cardinal Numbers 21-100[edit | edit source]
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.
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:
Latin | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
viginti unus | vee-geen-tee oo-noos | twenty-one |
viginti duo | vee-geen-tee doo-oh | twenty-two |
viginti tres | vee-geen-tee trehs | twenty-three |
viginti quattuor | vee-geen-tee kwah-too-ohr | twenty-four |
viginti quinque | vee-geen-tee kween-kweh | twenty-five |
triginta | tree-gin-tah | thirty |
triginta unus | tree-gin-tah oo-noos | thirty-one |
triginta duo | tree-gin-tah doo-oh | thirty-two |
triginta tres | tree-gin-tah trehs | thirty-three |
triginta quattuor | tree-gin-tah kwah-too-ohr | thirty-four |
triginta quinque | tree-gin-tah kween-kweh | thirty-five |
quadraginta | kwah-drah-gin-tah | forty |
quadraginta unus | kwah-drah-gin-tah oo-noos | forty-one |
quadraginta duo | kwah-drah-gin-tah doo-oh | forty-two |
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.
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.
Let's take a look at a table that covers the numbers from 41 to 60 to further illustrate the pattern:
Latin | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
quadraginta unus | kwah-drah-gin-tah oo-noos | forty-one |
quadraginta duo | kwah-drah-gin-tah doo-oh | forty-two |
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 |
quinquaginta | kween-kwah-gin-tah | fifty |
quinquaginta unus | kween-kwah-gin-tah oo-noos | fifty-one |
quinquaginta duo | kween-kwah-gin-tah doo-oh | fifty-two |
quinquaginta tres | kween-kwah-gin-tah trehs | fifty-three |
quinquaginta quattuor | kween-kwah-gin-tah kwah-too-ohr | fifty-four |
quinquaginta quinque | kween-kwah-gin-tah kween-kweh | fifty-five |
sexaginta | seks-a-gin-tah | sixty |
sexaginta unus | seks-a-gin-tah oo-noos | sixty-one |
sexaginta duo | seks-a-gin-tah doo-oh | sixty-two |
sexaginta tres | seks-a-gin-tah trehs | sixty-three |
sexaginta quattuor | seks-a-gin-tah kwah-too-ohr | sixty-four |
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.
Cardinal Numbers 61-100[edit | edit source]
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:
Latin | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
sexaginta unus | seks-a-gin-tah oo-noos | sixty-one |
sexaginta duo | seks-a-gin-tah doo-oh | sixty-two |
sexaginta tres | seks-a-gin-tah trehs | sixty-three |
sexaginta quattuor | seks-a-gin-tah kwah-too-ohr | sixty-four |
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 |
septuaginta duo | sep-too-a-gin-tah doo-oh | seventy-two |
septuaginta tres | sep-too-a-gin-tah trehs | seventy-three |
septuaginta quattuor | sep-too-a-gin-tah kwah-too-ohr | seventy-four |
septuaginta quinque | sep-too-a-gin-tah kween-kweh | seventy-five |
octoginta | ohk-toh-gin-tah | eighty |
octoginta unus | ohk-toh-gin-tah oo-noos | eighty-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.
Let's take a look at a table that covers the numbers from 91 to 100 to see the pattern more clearly:
Latin | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
nonaginta unus | noh-na-gin-tah oo-noos | ninety-one |
nonaginta duo | noh-na-gin-tah doo-oh | ninety-two |
nonaginta tres | noh-na-gin-tah trehs | ninety-three |
nonaginta quattuor | noh-na-gin-tah kwah-too-ohr | ninety-four |
nonaginta quinque | noh-na-gin-tah kween-kweh | ninety-five |
centum | ken-toom | one hundred |
centum unus | ken-toom oo-noos | one hundred one |
centum duo | ken-toom doo-oh | one hundred two |
centum tres | ken-toom trehs | one hundred three |
centum quattuor | ken-toom kwah-too-ohr | one hundred four |
centum quinque | ken-toom kween-kweh | one hundred five |
Congratulations! You have now learned how to count from 1 to 100 in Latin using cardinal numbers.
Ordinal Numbers[edit | edit source]
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:
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).
Now that you are familiar with the formation of ordinal numbers, let's practice using them in sentences.
Cultural Insights and Interesting Facts[edit | edit source]
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.
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.
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.
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.
