Lesson - Section 4 - Les nombres français
PART 1 - PRESENT TENSE VERBS
Section 4 - Les nombres français Welcome to French Numbers! Numbers work very much the same way in French as in English, except for the fact that there are no unique words for seventy, eighty, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, or ninety. The words for these numbers are made out of other words. Otherwise, they work on exactly the same system. Without further ado, let’s get straight to it! 0 - zéro/nul 1 - un 2 - deux 3 - trois 4 – quatre 5- cinq 6- six 7- sept 8- huit 9- neuf 10- dix 11- onze 12- douze 13- treize 14- quatorze 15- quinze 16- seize 17- dix-sept 18- dix-huit 19- dix-neuf 20- vingt 21- vingt et un 22- vingt-deux 30- trente 31- trente et un 32- trente-deux 40- quarante 41- quarante et un 42- quarante-deux 50- cinquante 51- cinquante et un 52- cinquante-deux 60- soixante 61- soixante et un 62- soixante-deux 70- soixante-dix 71- soixante et onze 72- soixante-douze 73- soixante-treize 74- soixante-quatorze 75- soixante-quinze 76- soixante-seize 77- soixante-dix-sept 78- soixante-dix-huit 79- soixante-dix-neuf 80- quatre-vingt 81- quatre-vingt un 82- quatre-vingt-deux 90- quatre-vingt-dix 91- quatre-vingt-onze 92- quatre-vingt-douze 93- quatre-vingt-treize 94- quatre-vingt-quatorze 95- quatre-vingt-quinze 96- quatre-vingt-seize 97- quatre-vingt-dix-sept 98- quatre-vingt-dix-huit 99- quatre-vingt-dix-neuf 100- cent 101-cent un 200- deux cents 201- deux cents un etc 1000- mille 1001- mille un 1100- mille cent 1200- mille deux cents 1300- mille trois cents etc 2000- deux mille 2100- deux mille cent 10 000- dix mille (attention, a comma is used to denote decimal places less than 1) 100 000- cent mille 1 000 000- un million 1 000 000 000- un milliard 1 000 000 000 000- un billion Decimals in French are denoted by commas. For example, when you would write 1.273 in English - the French equivalent is 1,273. Ordinal Numbers These numbers are fairly easy to construct. For each number that ends in a consonant, append -ième to the end of the word. This is the English equivalent of -th, as in 10th, 11th, etc... For each number that ends in a vowel, delete the last letter (that vowel) and replace it with -ième. For example, douzième, trentième, etc. And now, for your homework questions: 1. Write out 1-10. 2. How do you say 56? 3. How do you say 74? 4. How do you say 94? 5. How do you say 3890 seconds (hint, somebody important said this number below the Eiffel Tower ) 6. How do you say 25? 7. How do you say 59? 8. How do you say 666? 9. How do you say 127? 10. How do you say 1.283.756? Last edited by garçoncanadien; 02-19-2007 at 06:52 PM.. |
