| Today we're going to continue counting as we cover 11-100. |
| Let's just quickly review 0-10. |
| Number Portuguese |
| 0 zero |
| 1 um, uma |
| 2 dois, duas |
| 3 três |
| 4 quarto |
| 5 cinco |
| 6 seis |
| 7 sete |
| 8 oito |
| 9 nove |
| 10 dez |
| In Portuguese, counting from 11-20 is also very straightforward, so let's jump right in. |
| Number Portuguese |
| 11 onze |
| 12 doze |
| 13 treze |
| 14 catorze |
| 15 quinze |
| 16 dezesseis |
| 17 dezesete |
| 18 dezoito |
| 19 dezenove |
| 20 vinte |
| A quick tip about numbers in Portuguese: say the numbers one at a time. If you were born in 1984, for example, just say um nove oito quarto, which is literally "one nine eight four." This is not the correct way to say years in Portuguese, but it is understandable. In English, we often group numbers together as we say them, like "nineteen," and then, "eighty-four." Grouping numbers like this makes sense in English but not in Portuguese. Just say the numbers slowly one at a time, and you'll avoid probably seventy-five percent of the number-related problems I had while I worked as an assistant to a finance secretary. |
| So here are all the numbers from 30 to 100. |
| Number Portuguese |
| 30 trinta |
| 40 quarenta |
| 50 cinquenta |
| 60 sessenta |
| 70 setenta |
| 80 oitenta |
| 90 noventa |
| Finally, we have the number for 100 (cem). |
| We form numbers from 21-99 by combining these two lessons. For example, you say "twenty" in Portuguese, which is vinte, followed by the Portuguese word for "and," which is e. Then you say "three," which in Portuguese is três. So you put it all together and get vinte e três. |
| Let's hear that one time fast: vinte e três. |
| This literally means "twenty and three," or "twenty three." |

| Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so boa sorte! |
