A few things to note about Bosnian numbers:
1. Unlike English, Bosnian numbers are pronounced with a stress on the last syllable. For example, in "pet", the stress is on the "e".
2. The numbers from 1 to 19 are unique words, whereas the numbers from 20 to 99 are formed by combining the ten and the unit with a hyphen. For example, "twenty-four" would be "dvadeset-četiri".
3. The word for "one hundred" is "sto", which is similar to the English word "hundred".
