Bonjour à tous, hello everyone, welcome back to the French Made Easy podcast.
This is episode 193, numéro 193 !
Today, we’re going to tackle French numbers from 70 to 100.
If you already know how to count from 0 to 69, this is your next step.
And if you haven’t yet, make sure you go back to episode 32, where I teach you how to count from 0 to 70.
French numbers from 70 onwards can be a little tricky, because they’re built differently, but don’t worry, I’ll break it down step by step.
Numbers 70–79
In French, 70 is “soixante-dix”, which literally means “sixty-ten.”
Then we keep going:
- 70 → soixante-dix
- 71 → soixante et onze
- 72 → soixante-douze
- 73 → soixante-treize
- 74 → soixante-quatorze
- 75 → soixante-quinze
- 76 → soixante-seize
- 77 → soixante-dix-sept
- 78 → soixante-dix-huit
- 79 → soixante-dix-neuf
Numbers 80–89
80 in French is quatre-vingts — which literally means “four twenties.”
And then:
- 80 → quatre-vingts
- 81 → quatre-vingt-un (attention, NOT quatre-vingt-et-un)
- 82 → quatre-vingt-deux
- 83 → quatre-vingt-trois
- 84 → quatre-vingt-quatre
- 85 → quatre-vingt-cinq
- 86 → quatre-vingt-six
- 87 → quatre-vingt-sept
- 88 → quatre-vingt-huit
- 89 → quatre-vingt-neuf
Numbers 90–100
Finally, 90 is built as “four twenties and ten” → quatre-vingt-dix.
Then we go on:
- 90 → quatre-vingt-dix
- 91 → quatre-vingt-onze (again, for this one, NOT quatre-vingt-et-onze)
- 92 → quatre-vingt-douze
- 93 → quatre-vingt-treize
- 94 → quatre-vingt-quatorze
- 95 → quatre-vingt-quinze
- 96 → quatre-vingt-seize
- 97 → quatre-vingt-dix-sept
- 98 → quatre-vingt-dix-huit
- 99 → quatre-vingt-dix-neuf
- 100 = cent 🎉
Et voilà ! That's how you count all the way to 100 in French.
