De nummers in het Nederlands, The numbers in Dutch (1-1000).
15 - Fifteen: Vijf + Tien = Vijftien
16 - Sixteen: Zes + Tien = Zestien
17 - Seventeen: Zeven + Tien = Zeventien
18 - Eighteen: Acht + Tien = Achttien
19 - Nineteen: Negen + Tien = Negentien
21 - Twenty-one: (One and Twenty) Een en Twintig = Eenentwintig
22 - Twenty-two: Twee en Twintig = Tweeëntwintig (In Dutch, you put a diaeresis [the two dots] on a vowel to mark where a new syllable begins. Ex; seas - zeeën [Pronounced ‘zeejen’], ideas - ideeën. [Pronounced ‘ideejen’])
23 - Twenty-three: Drie en Twintig = Drieëntwintig
24 - Twenty-four: Vier en Twintig = Vierentwintig
25 - Twenty-five: Vijf en Twintig = Vijfentwintig
26 - Twenty-six: Zes en Twintig = Zesentwintig
27 - Twenty-seven: Zeven en Twintig = Zevenentwintig
28 - Twenty-eight: Acht en Twintig = Achtentwintig
29 - Twenty-nine: Negen en Twintig = Negenentwintig
Once you can count from 1 to 20, it’s easy. The only things you have left to learn are the tens. (40,50,60…), and the hundreds (200,300,400,…)
31 - Thirty-one: Eenendertig
42 - Fourty-two: Tweeënveertig
53 - Fifty-three: Drieënvijftig
64 - Sixty-four: Vierenzestig
75 - Seventy-five: Vijfenzeventig
86 - Eighty-six: Zesentachtig
97 - Ninety-seven: Zevenennegentig
100 - One hundred: Honderd
The only difference in the hundreds is that, just like in English, the Belgians use spaces. We use 2. One before and one after the ‘en’ until 13, after that, we only use one. The dutch sometimes don’t use spaces or the ‘en’ (ex; Tweehonderdnegen - Two hundred and nine) . The hundreds without any other numbers (ex; driehonderd) do not have spaces.
108 - One hundred and eight: Honderd en acht (We actually just say ‘Hundred and eight’ instead of ‘One hundred and eight’)
200 - Two hundred: Tweehonderd
209 - Two hundred and nine: Tweehonderd en negen / tweehonderdnegen
300 - Three hundred: Driehonderd
310 - Three undred and ten: Driehonderd en tien / driehonderdtien
400 - Four hundred: Vierhonderd
411 - Four hundred and eleven: Vierhonderd en elf / vierhonderdelf
500 - Five hundred: Vijfhonderd
512 - Five hundred and twelve: Vijfhonderd en twaalf / vijfhonderdtwaalf
600 - Six hundred: Zeshonderd
613 - Six hundred and thirteen: Zeshonderddertien (From the number 13 on to 99 we don’t use ‘en’ anymore between the hundreds and the tens.)
700 - Seven hundred: Zevenhonderd
714 - Seven hundred and fourteen: Zevenhonderdveertien
800 - Eighthundred: Achthonderd
815 - Eighthundred and fifteen: Achthonderdvijftien
900 - Ninehundred: Negenhonderd
916 - Ninehundred and sixteen: Negenhonderdzestien
1000 - One thousand: Duizend
Thanks for counting with me!
