цифры на немецком от 1 до 20
Hallo! Let's learn the German numbers from 1 to 20. It's easier than you think! We'll go step by step, so you'll be counting in German in no time. We're focusing on Zahlen (numbers) from eins to zwanzig.
The Basics: 1 to 12
These are the building blocks. Memorize these well, and the rest will be much simpler!
- 1: eins
- 2: zwei
- 3: drei
- 4: vier
- 5: fünf
- 6: sechs
- 7: sieben
- 8: acht
- 9: neun
- 10: zehn
- 11: elf
- 12: zwölf
Pronunciation tip: German 'ei' sounds like 'eye' in English. So, eins sounds like "eyens." Remember that! Also, 'ch' after 'a', 'o', 'u' sounds like the Scottish 'loch' sound. In acht it's a similar sound, though often softer.
Teen Numbers: 13 to 19 (The Pattern)
Here's where it gets interesting. The numbers 13 to 19 follow a pattern. They are formed by combining the single digit number with zehn (ten). However, there are a few slight changes.
- 13: dreizehn (drei + zehn)
- 14: vierzehn (vier + zehn)
- 15: fünfzehn (fünf + zehn)
- 16: sechzehn (sechs + zehn. The 's' is dropped from 'sechs'!)
- 17: siebzehn (sieben + zehn. The 'en' is dropped from 'sieben'!)
- 18: achtzehn (acht + zehn)
- 19: neunzehn (neun + zehn)
See the pattern? For most, it's just the digit + zehn. Just remember the slight changes for sechzehn and siebzehn.
Example: If you want to say "I am 14 years old," you would say "Ich bin vierzehn Jahre alt."
The Big 20: zwanzig
Finally, we have 20! It's a bit different, so memorize this one separately:
- 20: zwanzig
Example: There are 20 students in the class: Es gibt zwanzig Studenten in der Klasse.
Quick Review & Tips
Let's recap what we've learned:
- Memorize the numbers 1 to 12. These are fundamental.
