Counting from...1 to 99 !!!
One = Een
Two = Twee
Three = Drie
Four = Vier
Five = Vijf
Six = Zes
Seven = Zeven
Eight = Acht
Nine = Negen
Ten = Tien
Eleven = Elf
Twelve = Twaalf
Thirteen = Dertien
Fourteen = Veertien
Fifteen = Vijftien
Sixteen = Zestien
Seventeen = Zeventien
Eighteen = Achtien
Nineteen = Negentien *my age*
Twenty = Twintig
Now these are the numbers from 1 untill 20, zero = nul. From these numbers, you can understand some of the logic behind our way of counting. But first, you will need the following information
Thirty = Dertig
Fourty = Veertig
Fifty = Vijftig
Sixty = Zestig
Seventy = Seventig
Eighty = Tachtig
Ninety = Negentig
Hundred = Honderd
See the following examples and try to get the intuitive sense behind it:
21 = Twenty-one = Eenentwintig
22 = Twenty-two = Tweeentwintig
==> As you can see here, I put the "en" in bold letters. This was not done without a valid reason! The English word "and" is "en" in Dutch. Thus meaning that you accumulate the last digit of the pair, say 23, so the 3, with the 20 in front, making 3 + 20
Logical?
Finish this line untill 29
Thirty:
31 = Thirty-one = Eenendertig
31 = Thirty-two = Twee.... Answer!
Now with pure logical reasoning, you can count now in Dutch untill 100
Two = Twee
Three = Drie
