Counting 1 – 19
Numbers are very important in any Language. So, here are numbers from 1 to 10.
eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Mehr Zahlen ( more numbers ) : Here we’ll learn the numbers 11-19. Drei – zwei – eins – los! ? (3 – 2 – 1 – go!)
The two numbers that do not follow the pattern “number + zehn” are as follows:

Here’s a tip!
To say 13, 14 and 15, we add the words for either 3 (drei), 4 (vier) or 5 (fünf) on to the word for 10 (zehn).
| 3 (drei) + 10 (zehn) = 13 (dreizehn) |
| 4 (vier) + 10 (zehn) = 14 (vierzehn) |
| 5 (fünf) + 10 (zehn) = 15 (fünfzehn) |
Here’s a tip!
16 and 17 contain a shortened version of the words for 6 (sechs) and 7 (sieben).
| 6 (sechs) + 10 (zehn) = 16 (sechzehn) |
| 7 (sieben) + 10 (zehn) = 17 (siebzehn) |
18 and 19 follow the same pattern as 13, 14 and 15.
| 3 (drei) | + 10 (zehn) | = 13 (dreizehn) |
| 4 (vier) | + 10 (zehn) | = 14 (vierzehn) |
| 5 (fünf) | + 10 (zehn) | = 15 (fünfzehn) |
| 8 (acht) | + 10 (zehn) | = 18 (achtzehn) |
| 9 (neun) | + 10 (zehn) | = 19 (neunzehn) |
Counting 20 to 100
You have to add ’’ Zig’’ at end for Numbers from 20 to 90! While, Zig is pronounced as Zeesh!
20 = zwanzig
30 = dreißig
40= vierzig
50= fünfzig
60= sechzig
70=siebzig
80=achtzig
90= neunzig
100= hundert
While, In German number like 21, 22, 23, 32, 43, 54 start with last number and works backwards!
21= einundzwanzig; Notice a Pattern: ein(one) + und(and) + zwanzig(twenty)
22= zweiundzwanzig; Notice a Pattern: zwei(two) + und(and) + zwanzig(twenty)
23= dreiundzwanzig; Notice a Pattern: drei(three) + und(and) + zwanzig (twenty)
The same pattern would be for 30, 40, 50…….. series as like 21 to 29, as you can find below:
32=zweiunddreißig; Notice a Pattern: zwei(two) + und(and) + dreißig(thirty)
43= dreiundvierzig; Notice a Pattern: drei(three) + und(and) + vierzig(forty)
54= vierundfünfzig; Notice a Pattern: vier(four) + und(and) + fünfzig (fifty)
