Greek numbers 1 to 100

Learn the ten tens and you can read every number to a hundred: Greek puts the ten first and the unit after it as a second word. 34 is τριάντα τέσσερα, thirty four.

The ten tens

Figure	Greek	Say it	Note
10	δέκα	THE-ka	its own word
20	είκοσι	EE-ko-see	its own word, from Ancient Greek εἴκοσι
30	τριάντα	tree-AN-da	built on τρία
40	σαράντα	sa-RAN-da	from Ancient Greek τεσσαράκοντα, which lost its first syllable; it no longer looks like τέσσερα
50	πενήντα	pe-NEEN-da	built on πέντε
60	εξήντα	e-KSEEN-da	built on έξι
70	εβδομήντα	ev-tho-MEEN-da	an older stem, the one in έβδομος (seventh), not εφτά
80	ογδόντα	ogh-THON-da	an older stem, the one in όγδοος (eighth), not οχτώ
90	ενενήντα	e-ne-NEEN-da	built on ενν-, nine
100	εκατό	e-ka-TO	εκατό; εκατόν ένα for 101

Reading 21 to 99

Take the ten, then the unit: σαράντα εφτά is 47, ενενήντα δύο is 92. The unit keeps its own accent, so a two-word number carries two accents. The stress of each word stays where it was: sa-RAN-da ef-TA.

Seventeen to nineteen and the compounds ending in 7, 8 and 9 use the spoken forms here (εφτά, οχτώ, εννιά). If your class book prints επτά, οκτώ, εννέα, both are right; the pronunciation page explains the difference in sound.

Questions teachers and learners ask

How do you say 21 in Greek?

είκοσι ένα, two words with no "and": twenty, one. Every number from 21 to 99 that does not end in zero works the same way, the ten and then the unit: τριάντα πέντε is 35, ογδόντα τέσσερα is 84. Some people write είκοσι ένα as one word, εικοσιένα; this site follows the dictionary’s two-word form.

Why does 70 not look like 7?

εβδομήντα and ογδόντα come down from Ancient Greek ἑβδομήκοντα and ὀγδοήκοντα, whose stems are the ones still seen in the ordinals έβδομος (seventh) and όγδοος (eighth), not in εφτά and οχτώ. Learners who know the ordinals spot the link quickly; everyone else learns these two as words in their own right.

Is 100 εκατό or εκατόν?

εκατό on its own. It becomes εκατόν only when more of the number follows inside 101 to 199: εκατόν ένα, εκατόν πενήντα. The Triantafyllidis dictionary states the rule in exactly those terms. 200 and up use other words, διακόσια and so on.

Do numbers like 23 and 34 change for gender?

Yes, through their last word. Counting, 23 is είκοσι τρία; before a masculine or feminine noun it is είκοσι τρεις: είκοσι τρεις μαθητές, είκοσι τρεις μέρες. The ten does not change. The chart prints the counting forms.
