Numbers from 0 to 10
We pronounce the words this way: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
| Counting from 0 - 10 | Počítanie od 0 - 10 |
|---|---|
| zero | nula |
| one | jeden |
| two | dva |
| three | tri |
| four | štyri |
| five | päť |
| six | šesť |
| seven | sedem |
| eight | osem |
| nine | deväť |
| ten | desať |
It is very important to learn those by heart, as they represent the base of the following numbers.
Numbers from 11 to 19
Slovak suffix "-násť" is equivalent to English "-teen". However, "-násť" is used already from number 11 (compared to English, starting from 13-thirteen).
We pronounce the words this way: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
How to say number from 11-19? Only add the affix "-násť" to the numbers from 1-9. There are some small changes in the highlighted words you need to pay attention to:
| Counting from 11 - 20 | Počítanie od 11 - 20 |
|---|---|
| eleven | jedenásť |
| twelve | dvanásť |
| thirteen | trinásť |
| fourteen | štrnásť |
| fifteen | pätnásť |
| sixteen | šestnásť |
| seventeen | sedemnásť |
| eighteen | osemnásť |
| nineteen | devätnásť |
Numbers from 20 to 90
You can check the table below to see how the numbers look. General rule is to add the affix "-dsať" (20, 30, 40) or "-desiat" (50, 60, 70, 80, 90).
We pronounce the words this way: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90.
| Counting from 20 - 100 | Počítanie od 20 - 100 |
|---|---|
| twenty | dvadsať |
| thirty | tridsať |
| forty | štyridsať |
| fifty | päťdesiat |
| sixty | šesťdesiat |
| seventy | sedemdesiat |
| eighty | osemdesiat |
| ninety | deväťdesiat |
Here is an example how to create numbers from 21-29 and the rule applies for all other tens.
We pronounce the words this way: 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29.
Note that the numbers are written together, without space or dash.
| Counting from 21 - 29 | Počítanie od 21 - 29 |
|---|---|
| twenty-one | dvadsaťjeden |
| twenty-two | dvadsaťdva |
| twenty-three | dvadsaťtri |
| twenty-four | dvadsaťštyri |
| twenty-five | dvadsaťpäť |
| twenty-six | dvadsaťšesť |
| twenty-seven | dvadsaťsedem |
| twenty-eight | dvadsaťosem |
| twenty-nine | dvadsaťdeväť |
Examples:
- 32 = tridsaťdva
- 94 = deväťdesiatštyri
- 54 = päťdesiatštyri
- 87 = osemdesiatsedem
- 76 = sedemdesiatšesť
Numbers from 100 to1 000
You are almost there! Now we show you how to create hundreds. Simply add the affix "-sto" at the end of the basic numbers.
We pronounce the words this way: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000.
| Counting from 100 - 1 000 | Počítanie od 100 - 1 000 |
|---|---|
| one hundred | sto |
| two hundred | dvesto |
| three hundred | tristo |
| four hundred | štyristo |
| five hundred | päťsto |
| six hundred | šesťsto |
| seven hundred | sedemsto |
| eight hundred | osemsto |
| nine hundred | deväťsto |
| one thousand | tisíc |
Note that there is a small change in "dvesto". It is "dvesto", not "dvasto".
Examples:
- 457 = šytristopäaťdesiatsedem
- 789 = sedemstoosemdesiatdeväť
- 321 = tristodvadsaťjeden
- 615 = šesťstopätnásť
- 101 = stojeden
- 120 = stodvadsať
Numbers from 1 000 to 10 000
Here again the same rule applies. Just add the affix "-tisíc" to the cardinal number!
| English | Slovak |
|---|---|
| 1 000 | tisíc |
| 2 000 | dvetisíc |
| 3 000 | tritisíc |
| 4 000 | štyritisíc |
| 5 000 | päťtisíc |
| 6 000 | šesťtisíc |
| 7 000 | sedemtisíc |
| 8 000 | osemtisíc |
| 9 000 | deväťtisíc |
| 10 000 | desaťtisíc |
Note that there is a small change in "dvetisíc". It is "dvetisíc", not "dvatisíc".
Examples:
- 1 458 = tisícštyristopäťdesiatosem
- 8 200 = osemtisícdvesto
- 3 631 = tritisícšesťstotridsaťjeden
- 2 592 = dvetisícpäťstodeväťdesiatdva
Now you can write down the number 5 743 in Slovak!
We will help you: päťtisícsedemstoštyridsaťtri!
Ordinal numbers
Knowing the ordinal numbers will help you to express for example what is the date today!
Numbers from 0-10
| Ordinal numbers from 0 - 10 | Radové číslovky od 0 - 10 (masculine, feminine, neutral) |
|---|---|
| 0 | nultý, nultá, nulté |
| 1st | prvý, prvá, prvé |
| 2nd | druhý, druhá, druhé |
| 3rd | tretí, tretia, tretie |
| 4th | štvrtý, štvrtá, štvrté |
| 5th | piaty, piata, piate |
| 6th | šiesty, šiesta, šieste |
| 7th | siedmy, siedma, siedme |
| 8th | ôsmy, ôsma, ôsme |

| 19th | devätnásty, devätnásta, devätnáste |
| 20th | dvadsiaty, dvadsiata, dvadsiate |
Numbers from 21
Higher numbers are created by putting the numbers together. For example:
- 21st= dvadsiaty prvý/dvadsiata prvá/ dvadsiate prvé
- 25th= dvadsiaty piaty/dvadsiata piata/dvadsiate piate
[enlightened] Note that unlike the ordinary numbers, the ordinal numbers are not written together!
- 21 = dvadsaťjeden but 21st = dvadsiaty prvý
Basic mathematical signs
To read the basic mathematical equations, you will need these:
| The sign | Slovak |
|---|---|
| + | plus |
| - | mínus |
| x | krát |
| ÷ | deleno |
| = | rovná sa / sa rovná |
Examples:
- 2 + 2 = 4 read as dva plus dva sa rovná štyri
- 16 - 5 = 11 read as šesťnásť mínus päť sa rovná jedenásť
- 200 ÷ 2 = 100 read as dvesto deleno dva sa rovná sto
- 3 x 4 = 12 read as tri krát štyri sa rovná dvanásť

Hi! I’m Yasmina, a professional German, English, Russian and Slovak teacher for adults and teenagers. I am fluent in 4 foreign languages and I have sucessfuly passed C2 level exams for English and German. I have a Masters degree in foreign languages and cultures from Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. During my studies I have done a couple of exchanges abroad (Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Qatar, Iceland, etc).
I have lived in 4 countries, therefore I know how challenging it may be - to learn and SPEAK foreign language afterwards. I’ve been teaching and learning languages for more than 8 years (3 years of teaching experience). I am absolutely sure, that your learning process starts, when you begin to speak. Therefore my lessons are mainly conversational, but you would need to do your homework at home :)
As a result, we can use your new knowledge during the lesson. Language learning is fun and a lot of hard work at the same time. But if you know what to do, than the process becomes much easier and enjoyable.
Here is the key information on the lessons/courses:
1. Lessons are tailored to your needs
2. All materials are provided
3. Before we start, during the trial lesson, I will test you level and we will develop a plan in order to reach your goal as soon as possible.
Any questions? Don’t hesitate to ask me!
All the best,
Yasmina
M. W.
Yasmina organizes the lessons in a varied, easy-to-understand and competent manner, is always punctual and attentive. She also incorporates information about the country (recipes, music, ...) and always thinks of something new - I like it when the learning is playful. Yasmina gladly and patiently answers questions, even those that concern the mentality or dealing with Slovaks (especially Slovakian mother-in-law ...). Clear recommendation!

Learn to communicate in Dutch from the first lesson! Enjoyable classes with teaching materials tailored to your needs. First 15 min. class for free. My name is Karin and I'm from Holland, but I live on the Canary Islands. I love teaching DUTCH and have done so for more than 20 years. I have a Diploma in English Philology. I also have two methodology degrees: the CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults of the University of Cambridge) and the FCTBE (Foundation Certificate for Teachers of Business English of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry).
I have taught at a Business School and ten companies. In the last two years I've mainly been giving private lessons and I've developed a variety of online self-study DUTCH courses. My schedule is flexible and I adapt myself to the needs and interests of my students so that they reach their objectives in the shortest possible time.
Enjoyable classes, with teaching materials tailored to your needs.
How do the classes work? A class lasts 45 minutes. I'll send you the materials we are going to use in class beforehand so you can print them. After the class I'll send you audios of the notes we made, vocabulary etc. My speciality is communication, from beginner level to advanced. So, you will speak some Dutch in the first class already! Why wait any longer? Let's get started! :-)
A. B.
I had my first lesson a couple of days ago and everything went super good! Karin was attentive, transmiting her positivism and helping me with every doubt I had. She really focus on teaching how to pronounce and talk a language, so this is really interesting for me, to practise it & be able to use it in my day by day. I really recommend her to everyone willing to learn a new language :)

Hi Alba! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I enjoyed our class too & I wish you the best of luck with all your future projects :-)
I'm a French teacher since 5 years, all levels : from A1 till C2. I usually teach in French Institute (Senegal, Morocco). I'm actually expatriate with my family in Senegal :-)
I'm in love with my job and that a chance ! I get several diplomas on online teaching and I love searching the funniest way to teach French !
Since 2019 I'm also jury for the DELF and the DALF. So if you want to pass those exams I can prepare you to it in the best way :-)
Before becoming a French teacher I was an Engineer in Tourism and Hotels Industry. I did several training in this professional speciality.
Intercultural contacts make me alive we have so much to share : I will make you discover my culture and I hope you will make me discover yours !
Learning French can be fun believe me : gramma games, vocabulary enigmas ; I will try my best to make those lessons entertaining and efficient !
See us soon !

Elisa teaches French to foreign adults and teenager. She adaptes her lessons to students level and demands. Her French courses are very attractive : you can learn French by games, videos, films extract or traduction. Elise is involved in each step of student progress : for each exercises made she asks you questions for practicing your French prononciation and speaking. She is passioned and smiling person, I recommend her !
