Good to know

Uno is the form used for counting without a following noun. Before a masculine noun it loses its final -o; before most feminine nouns, -o becomes -a. Cien means exactly 100; numbers from 101 to 199 use a longer form.

Millón means 1,000,000, while Mil millones means 1,000,000,000. Keep these quantities distinct. Número can refer to a number as a whole; Cifra can refer to one digit in its written form. For example, 25 is one number written with two digits.

Rules to remember

  • Medio, when it means half of something, agrees with the noun’s gender: its final -o becomes -a with a feminine noun.
  • Mil stays unchanged when expressing exact quantities such as 2,000 or 3,000; it does not take a plural ending.
  • Número has stress on its first syllable, while Millón has stress on its last. Keep the written accent in both words.
