If the noun is masculine then the form "un" is used. "Un amigo" can mean "a friend" or "one friend" depending on the context. This is because the word for "a" and "one" are the same in Spanish. ¿Un, uno o una? - The number "one" in Spanish is the only number that has to agree with the noun it refers to. For example:ģ8 - treinta y ocho - literally "thirty and eight".Ģ49 - doscientos cuarenta y nueve -literally "two hundreds forty and nine".ġ567 - mil quinientos sesenta y siete - literally "thousand five hundred sixty and seven".Īlthough the numbers in the 20s are pronounced similarly to the higher numbers, they are written slightly differently - "veintiuno, veintidos" (all one word) but "treinta y uno, treinta y dos, cuarenta y uno, cuarenta y dos", etc. Numbers are built up from the units listed above the same way that they are in English. Note also that the numbers from 200 to 900 have to agree with the noun they refer to: "ochocientos libros" "ochocientas niñas" Note that 500 is very irregular and 700 and 900 are slightly irregular.
