Number structure
Biggest unit + smaller unit
Ex: 22 is venti + due
This is also true for bigger units
Ex: 345 is trecento quarantacinque
Number Structure Exceptions
- When writing a number ending in 8 or 1, drop vowel before adding suffix. This only applies from 20 to 90
Ex: ventuno = 21, sessantotto = 78 - When a number ends in 3, the ‘e’ in tre has an accent
Ex: trenatrè = 33
Special Rules for Uno
- Uno (the number) has the same quirks as uno (an)
- When a number ending in 1 is followed by another word, the final ‘o’ is usually dropped
