Title: Numbers 20-100
Course: Viestintä ja vuorovaikutus toisella kotimaisella, suomi 2 op > Section: Numbers and Telling Time

Now, if this feels difficult, please go back and practice 0-10 again, as this is the basis of everything.

When you start feeling confident, let’s move on. We now come to 20-100. Again, the words seem long, but don’t worry. The first part is familiar, and the second part is -kymmentä.

Please watch this video:

Learn Finnish! Lesson 5: Numbers 21-100 - Numerot 21-100 (youtube.com)

30 = kolmekymmentä

40 = neljäkymmentä

50 = viisikymmentä

60 = kuusikymmentä

70 = seitsemänkymmentä

80 = kahdeksankymmentä

90 = yhdeksänkymmentä

100 = sata

Once you know this, counting from 0-100 is easy (although the words are long).

For example, to make 25, you just take 20 and add 5 directly to the word:

Kaksikymmentä (20) +  viisi (5) = kaksikymmentäviisi (25)

For bigger numbers, from 100 onwards, please watch this video:
