Numbers 11-19
In Bulgarian, the numbers 11-19 are formed by combining the digits for 1-9 with the suffix -надесет (-nadeset). Here are the numbers 11-19:

| 19 | деветнадесет (devetnadeset) | nineteen |
Numbers 20-100
The numbers 20-100 are formed by combining the digits for 2-9 with the suffix -десет (-deset), meaning "ten". Here are the numbers 20-100:
