Notes

When counting one is uno, but with masculine nouns uno becomes un, and it becomes una with feminine nouns. This also applies to other numbers containing one, e.g. veintiún coches (21 cars), veintiuna casas (21 houses).
100s also change to indicate gender, e.g. doscientos coches (200 cars), doscientas casas (200 houses).
Fullstops (periods) are used to separte thousands and commas for decimal points, e.g. $1.234,50 = $1,234.50, except in Mexico, Central America and Puerto Rico.
The numbers from 16 to 19 and 21 to 29 used to be spelled diez y seis, diez y siete, diez y ocho, veinte y uno, veinte y dos, etc.
The ordinal numbers above 10 are used mainly in formal writing. In speech the cardinal numbers are generally used. E.g. the 20th century is usually el siglo veinte / el siglo 20 rather than el siglo vigésimo.
Feminine ordinal numbers are like masculine ones, but ending in -a. E.g. primera, segunda, tercera.
Masculine ordinal figures are written with º after and feminine with ª. E.g. Primero: 1º, Segundo: 2º, Primera: 1ª, Segunda: 2ª
