Numbers 1-20

Let's start with the numbers one through twenty:

Croatian	Pronunciation	English Translation
jedan	[jɛdǎn]	one
dva	[dvâ]	two
tri	[trî]	three
četiri	[chêti-ri]	four
pet	[pɛt]	five
šest	[šɛst]	six
sedam	[sɛdǎm]	seven
osam	[ǒsam]	eight
devet	[dêvêt]	nine
deset	[dɛsêt]	ten
jedanaest	[jɛdǎnaɛst]	eleven
dvanaest	[dvânǎɛst]	twelve
trinaest	[trǐnaɛst]	thirteen
četrnaest	[chêtrnaɛst]	fourteen
petnaest	[pɛtnaɛst]	fifteen
šesnaest	[šêsnǎɛst]	sixteen
sedamnaest	[sɛdǎmnaɛst]	seventeen
osamnaest	[ǒsamnaɛst]	eighteen
devetnaest	[dêvêt-naɛst]	nineteen
dvadeset	[dvâdɛsêt]	twenty

• When counting objects, use the appropriate ordinal numbers. For example, "prva" for the first, "druga" for the second, "treća" for the third, and so on.
• The word "nula" (pronounced [nûla]) means zero. It is used like any other number.
• To form other numerals until twenty, you add "naest" to the first digit. For example, "petnaest" is "pet" (five) + "naest" (teen).

Numbers 20-100

Let's move on to the rest of the numbers:

Croatian	Pronunciation	English Translation
dvadeset-jedan	[dvâdɛsêt-jɛdǎn]	twenty-one
dva   deset	[dvâ-dɛsêt]	thirty
četrdeset	[chêtr-dɛsêt]	forty
pedeset	[pêdǎsêt]	fifty
šezdeset	[šêz-dɛsêt]	sixty
sedamdeset	[sɛdǎmdɛsêt]	seventy
osamdeset	[ǒsamdɛsêt]	eighty
devedeset	[dêv-ɛdǎsêt]	ninety
sto	[stô]	one hundred

• When combining two numbers, use a hyphen. For example, "dvadeset-jedan" for twenty-one, "osamdeset-pet" for eighty-five.
• When talking about someone's age, use the verb "imati" (to have) followed by the appropriate number. For example, "Imam dvadeset pet godina" (I am twenty-five years old).
• When telling time, we will use a 12-hour clock as well as a 24-hour clock. To say "a.m." in Croatian, use "ujutro," and to say "p.m.," use "popodne."

Practice

Now that we've covered the numbers from one to one hundred, let's practice using them in context. Here are a few exercises that will help solidify your knowledge:

1. Count to ten in Croatian.
2. Count backwards in Croatian from twenty.
3. Tell me your age in Croatian.
4. How do you say "fifty-two" in Croatian?
5. What time is it when the clock reads "15:30"?
