Counting from 11 to 20 in Italian

Welcome to Unit 2! Now that you know numbers one through ten, it is time to level up and learn how to count from 11 to 20 in Italian. These numbers are essential for telling your age, shopping, and talking about quantities.

The Numbers

  • undici (11)
  • dodici (12)
  • tredici (13)
  • quattordici (14)
  • quindici (15)
  • sedici (16)
  • diciassette (17)
  • diciotto (18)
  • diciannove (19)
  • venti (20)

Patterns and Pronunciation

Notice how numbers 17 to 19 combine the word for ten (dieci) with the single digit: diciassette is literally ten-plus-seven. Watch out for spelling: undici and dodici do not follow a simple pattern, so commit them to memory early!

Common Mistakes

Learners often mix up quattordici (14) and quindici (15), or forget the double 't' in diciassette. Take your time to spell them correctly.
