Numbers in French

Do you know the numbers in French? Do you know how to count in French? In this article we will see a vocabulary list about numbers in French.

There are two ways of saying numbers. The first is name, used to speak of quantity that can be counted as number of things, people and objects. The second is a number, used to refer to a number that are elements of a series, such as phone number, places and passport.

French numbers may seem confusing at first. Stay tuned for the following curiosities and facts:

From the seventeen the numbers are formed using the 'ten-seven' model (dix-sept), 'ten-eight' (dix-huit) and so on;
At dozens and the units are joined by a hyphen;
The number seventy is expressed by 'sixty-ten' (soixante-dix). Then continue with 'seventy-eleven' (soixante-eleven);

The dozens have specific names from ten to sixty: dix (10), vingt (20), trente (30), quarantine (40), cinquante (50) and soixante (60);
The number eighty is formed by 'four times twenty' (quatre-vingts);
The number ninety translated means “four times twenty-ten” (quatre-vingt-dix);

Remembering that we do not recommend learning French words in isolation. The best way to learn is by creating phrases and using a memorization system like anki. I hope you like the list of numbers in French:
