Russian Numbers

Disclaimer: numbers in Russian sometimes change depending upon their use in the
sentence (subject, object, object of a preposition, etc.) Some of the numbers also change
form depending on the kind of noun they are describing (masculine, feminine, or neuter).
I am deliberately omitting this very lengthy and detailed grammatical explanation. This
means that, if you use the numbers as shown here, you will sometimes be grammatically
incorrect, but you will be understood.

The second column in the table below shows the numbers 11-19. Notice that they bear a
very definite resemblance to the numbers one through 10. In fact, they are formed by
taking the one-digit numbers, adding the preposition , and then a shortened form of
the word for ten.

one 11
two 12
three 13
four 14
five 15
six 16
seven 17
eight 18
nine 19
ten
Multiples of Ten
20
30
40
50
60
70
80
90
100

To construct numbers like 52, 78, or 146, just put the parts together:

52 =
78 =
146 =

Hundreds
100
200
300
400
500
600
700
800
900
1000
