So, now we know how to read, let's learn how to count!

Some tips:

  • 11-19 - the stress starts at the beginning with 11 and shifts to the end for the rest... although it jumps back for 14

  • 600-900: you just add -со́т

  • Also, "на" means "on", so надцать = на дцать, comes from 'on ten'... Семнадцать = seven on ten. If it helps you to think of it like that :)

  • 10 - Similar to 10 in Spanish/French... just how I remember it.

  • For everything past 20, just add the word to the end, eg. 37 = тридцать семь, 39 = тридцать девять. If that's not clear, ask :).

So, the challenge - Try writing out the following numbers, you should be able to:

59

240

655

452

27

1243

478

986

390

The way I've tried to do it is so that if I left something out, as I wasn't going to list every number up to 1000, just use common sense :)
