Regardless if you are thinking about flirting with a native Spanish speaker or enhancing your Spanish to attain a basic conversational fluency, understanding the Numbers in Spanish 1-1000 is an important topic that will help students in everyday life.
Learning about the numbers should be one of the first things to review in order to interact with native Spanish speakers in a broad range of scenarios, and that is what this article will be about.
Even though it may seem like a difficult topic at first, understanding the numbers in Spanish is easier
if you take the time to spot the predictable patterns that may be observed in the Spanish numbers from 1 to 1000.
In this article, we will begin by reviewing the numbers in Spanish from 1 to 30, then the numbers from 1 to 100 and finally; the Spanish numbers 1-1000.
Numbers in Spanish 1-1000
Let’s begin by looking at the numbers in Spanish from 1-100.
Initially we will look at the numbers in Spanish 1-30
in detail, and later on we will continue with the rest
of the numbers all the way to 1000.
This initial set is particularly important because it is the
least regular section of numbers. After number 30,
all numbers in Spanish follow highly predictable patterns.
Just make sure to be patient and don’t be discouraged.
Remember, after 30, it all gets really easy.

3 – tres
4 – cuatro
5 – cinco
6 – seis

Lets look at the numbers from 100 to 1000
The next step is learning how to count by hundreds up to 1000 (in 100 unit increments).
Pay attention to the fact that the majority of them are made up of a single number (such as number four) and the word “cientos” (cientos means “hundreds”) attached next to them.
In the case of “cuatrocientos” it literally would translate as “fourhundreds”.
The only exceptions are for the Spanish number 500
which is spelled as “quinientos”, the number 700
which is spelled as “setecientos” and the number
900 which is a spelled as “novecientos”.
Let’s look at these numbers in Spanish, the hundreds:
100 – cien
200 – doscientos
300 – trescientos
400 – cuatrocientos
500 – quinientos
600 – seiscientos
700 – setecientos
800 – ochocientos
900 – novecientos
1000 – mil

The next step in understanding numbers in Spanish
1-1000 is starting with one of the “hundreds”
and then add one of the regular numbers in Spanish from 1-100 as described previously,
Let’s look at some examples:
