70 settanta

How the numbers work

From 40, the tens end in -anta, and the start comes from the number: quaranta (40) from quattro, cinquanta (50) from cinque. The same goes for sessanta, settanta, ottanta and novanta.

Watch the double letters: sessanta (60), settanta (70) and ottanta (80).

20 and 30 have names of their own: venti and trenta. 100 is cento and 1000 is mille.
