Lesson focus

Today we're going to continue with counting as we cover numbers 11-100.
Let's just quickly review 0 to 10.
0 - nulla
1 - egy
2 - kettő
3 - három
4 - négy
5 - öt
6 - hat
7 - hét
8 - nyolc
9 - kilenc
10 - tíz
In Hungarian, counting from 11-20 is also quite straightforward, so let's jump right in.
11 - tizenegy
12 - tizenkettő
13 - tizenhárom
14 - tizennégy
15 - tizenöt
16 - tizenhat
17 - tizenhét
18 - tizennyolc
19 - tizenkilenc
20 - húsz
As you may have noticed, from numbers 11-19 you just use the word tizen before the number you want to say. The same is true of the numbers between 21-29. Even though 20 itself is húsz, these numbers will all start with a longer form, huszon, huszonegy, huszonkettő.
Now that we know how to do the complicated bit, let's move on to the simpler one.
30 - harminc
40 - negyven
50 - ötven
60 - hatvan
70 - hetven
80 - nyolcvan
90 - kilencven
Note that from 30 onward, you only need to add a plain number. There's no changing—it's just straightforward.
Let's try with "fifty-three." "Fifty" is ötven and "three" is három. Putting them together, we have ötvenhárom or "fifty-three."
Let's break down this word and see it once again. öt-ven há-rom.
Finally, we have száz.
100 - száz
száz
To count from száz onwards, you just need to add the units and the tens you have just learned.
Let's try with some examples:
110 - száztíz
száztíz
198 - százkilencvennyolc
százkilencvennyolc
