| Bună tuturor! Sunt Raluca. Hi everybody! I’m Raluca. |
| Welcome to RomanianPod101.com’s Româna în 3 minute. The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Romanian. |
| In the last lesson, you learned the numbers from one to ten. Have you forgotten? Here, I'll tell you again just in case: |
| Unu, doi, trei, patru, cinci, șase, șapte, opt, nouă, zece. |
| And now let’s continue from eleven. |
| Unsprezece. |
| [slowly] unsprezece. |
| Doisprezece. |
| [slowly] doisprezece. |
| Treisprezece. |
| [slowly] treisprezece. |
| Paisprezece. |
| [slowly] paisprezece. |
| Cincisprezece. |
| [slowly] cincisprezece. |
| Șaisprezece. |
| [slowly] șaisprezece . |
| Șaptesprezece. |
| [slowly] șaptesprezece. |
| Optsprezece. |
| [slowly] optsprezece. |
| Nouăsprezece. |
| [slowly] nouăsprezece. |
| These numbers may seem harder to remember, but let’s compare them to the numbers 1-9. Notice any similarities? That’s right! Many of these numbers begin in the same way! You really just have to memorize spre and zece which mean ”to” or “towards” and "ten" respectively. However, using this hint means that you already know numbers one through nine, so if you haven’t learned them yet, take some time to go back and review. |
| Let’s not stop here! We’ll count from 20 to 100 by tens. It’s really easy! |
| Douăzeci. |
| [slowly] Douăzeci. |
| Treizeci |
| [slowly] Treizeci |
| Patruzeci |
| [slowly] Patruzeci |
| Cincizeci |
| [slowly] Cincizeci |
| Șaizeci |
| [slowly] Șaizeci |
| Șaptezeci |
| [slowly] Șaptezeci |
| Optzeci |
| [slowly] Optzeci |
| Nouăzeci |
| [slowly] Nouăzeci |
| O sută |
| [slowly] O sută |
| Here’s an easy way to remember these numbers. Just like numbers 11-19, the tens begin with the numbers 1-9 or a slight variation of them. For example, treizeci begins with trei, patruzeci begins with patru and so forth. |
| However, be careful about șaizeci, and șaptezeci. These can cause confusion because they sound so similar. |
| [slowly] șaizeci |
| [slowly] șaptezeci |
| The last thing to learn in this lesson is how to form compound numbers above twenty. This is also super easy! |
| Take the tens and simply add the numbers you learned in the previous lesson. Sometimes you have to make a few small changes, though. |
| How would you say “twenty-one” in Romanian? Let’s take it step-by-step. “Twenty” is douăzeci, add și, which means “and”, then add the last number unu. Try to think of “twenty-one” as ‘twenty and one.’ Douăzeci și unu. Pretty easy, right? |
| Now, let’s try some other numbers! |
| “39” is… Treizeci și nouă lei |
| [slowly] Treizeci și nouă lei |
| “68” is... Șaizeci și opt |
| [slowly] Șai-zeci și opt |
| “95” is... Nouăzeci și cinci |
| [slowly] No-uă-zeci și cinci |
| After only two lessons, you are now able to count to one hundred in Romanian! |
| In the next lesson we are going to put your knowledge of numbers to use! Do you have all the skills you need to go shopping in Romania? I'll be waiting for you in our next lesson. Pe curând! See you soon! |
