Learning Polish numbers is definitely very important, just like learning numbers in any language. They appear in every day conversations and once you know the structure of creating them in grammar, it’s actually pretty easy to write them.<\/p>\n

I think my friends actually have more problems with Polish numbers’ pronunciation, than writing them down…<\/p>\n

In Polish numbers from 0 to 11 are unique words that have to be memorized. Numbers from 12 to 19 are formed by using the following pattern: for example 13 can be formed by using 3 + na\u015bcie<\/b> while connecting them. 13 = trzyna\u015bcie<\/b>. Although these are good to memorize as well, since 14,15, 16 or 19 are exceptions, and the “beginning” is written slightly different (czterna\u015bcie<\/strong>, pi\u0119tna\u015bcie<\/strong>, \u00a0szesna\u015bcie,<\/strong> dziewi\u0119tna\u015bcie<\/strong>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The forms of numbers like 20, 30, 50 are unique and depend on the number:<\/p>\n

20 \u2013 dwa + dzie\u015bcia<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

30 \u2013 trzy + dzie\u015bci<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

50 \u2013 pi\u0119\u0107 + dziesi\u0105t<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Starting from twenty all tens use a pretty simple logic. Tens where the second number is bigger than 0 are written by leaving a space and writing the last number. For numbers bigger than 100 and 1000, the same logic to write numbers as words you used for tens applies.<\/p>\n

If you need help with pronunciation of these numbers, check out this You Tube video by Ewelina! It is pretty long, about 17 minutes, but she really pays attention on how to pronounce numbers, while having the actual number written on the screen at the same time to make it easier for you!<\/p>\n
