Forming Numbers Beyond 20

Once you get to twenty, the pattern for numbers in Catalan becomes more systematic. Let's break it down:

• 21 to 29: twenty-one is "vint-i-u" (twenty and one), twenty-two is "vint-i-dos" (twenty and two), and so on up to twenty-nine "vint-i-nou".

• 30, 40, 50: The tens are unique—30 is "trenta", 40 is "quarant", and 50 is "cinquanta".

• 31 to 39: For these numbers, it follows the same pattern as before: thirty-one is "trenta-i-u", thirty-two is "trenta-i-dos", etc.

Below is a table to illustrate these patterns.

Catalan	Pronunciation	English
21	vint-i-u	twenty-one
22	vint-i-dos	twenty-two
23	vint-i-tres	twenty-three
24	vint-i-quatre	twenty-four
25	vint-i-cinc	twenty-five
26	vint-i-sis	twenty-six
27	vint-i-set	twenty-seven
28	vint-i-vuit	twenty-eight
29	vint-i-nou	twenty-nine
30	trenta	thirty
31	trenta-i-u	thirty-one
32	trenta-i-dos	thirty-two
33	trenta-i-tres	thirty-three
34	trenta-i-quatre	thirty-four
35	trenta-i-cinc	thirty-five
36	trenta-i-sis	thirty-six
37	trenta-i-set	thirty-seven
38	trenta-i-vuit	thirty-eight
39	trenta-i-nou	thirty-nine
40	quaranta	forty

Continuing to 100

The pattern continues for the other tens:

• 40s: forty-one is "quaranta-i-u", forty-two is "quaranta-i-dos", and so on.

• 50s: fifty-one is "cinquanta-i-u", fifty-two is "cinquanta-i-dos", etc.

• 60s: sixty is "seixanta" and follows the same pattern.

• 70s: seventy is "setanta".

• 80s: eighty is "vuitanta".

• 90s: ninety is "noranta".

• 100: one hundred is "cent".

Here’s the final range of numbers up to 100:
