Add numbers from 20 to 30

Hi,
Thank you for this Romanian lesson on numbers. Would it be possible to add the numbers from 20 to 30?
Thanks

Romanian numbers

Hi,

I have added the Romanian numbers from 20 to 100 on top of the existing ones from 11 to 20.
You might be interested in the Romanian numbers exercises at the end of the lesson.

Enjoy it!

Short forms

I often hear short forms of numbers above ten, such as "nouășpe lei și patrușcinci de bani" in shops. It's a little confusing, but you need to recognize these forms even if you don't use them yourself.
Nitpick (English teacher here): "ninety" keeps the 'e'. When we write the ordinal number "ninth" however, the 'e' disappears. I don't know why; English is weird.

Colloquial Romanian - Street Language

Hi,

You are right in saying that spoken Romanian, as any other language differs from written Romanian. I'll add the most common colloquial forms of the numbers including pronunciation. While the above forms (e.g. unsprezece) are the correct ones, that are accepted in writing as well as formal situations, the colloquial forms are used by many native speakers this is why I agree with you that it is important to be able to recognize them. However they are not correct from a Romanian vocabulary point of view, you won't find them in a Romanian dictionary(unless it has colloquial forms).

Here is a list:
11 - unșpe
12 - doișpe
13 - treișpe
14 - paișpe
15 - cinșpe
16 - șaișpe
17 - șaptișpe
18 - optișpe
19 - nouășpe
20 - douăzeci (this is the same form as the normal written one)

There are also a few variations of the above colloquial forms, but they are less used.

I'll do my best to add the audio of these colloquial forms asap. I'll try to finish the pronunciation lessons (the one with the combined vowels) first.

Thanks

Thanks for all the time you put into this. This reminds me of a lesson I was supposed to give at someone's house. He gave me his address using one of those colloquial forms, and it was over the phone which made it even harder. When I found his apartment in the freezing cold he wasn't even there! Living in Romania has its challenges but I love it! An interesting time to be here right now too.
