| Perfect! |
| Now, let's see some points to remember |
| 10 From 20 to 90 |
| Drop the final verbal before adding one and eight |
| For example, |
| 31 is trentuno |
| and |
| 248 is duecentoquarantotto |
| so on. |
| Numbers that end in 3, except for 13, |
| the 3 takes an accent in writing form. |
| However, the pronunciation is the same as usual. |
| For example, 83 is ottantatré |
| 3, e, accent, |
| but it's okay. |
| And, however, for numbers higher than 1,000, |
| you can also choose to use the conjunction, e, |
| meaning end, to separate the thousands. |
| So, for example, |
| 1,530 is millecinquecentotrenta or mille e cinquecento trenta. |
| Let's look at the dialogue. |
| While I read, I want you to pay attention to numbers, |
| find them, and see how they are used in the dialogue. |
| Quanto costa questa tazza? |
| How much does this mug cost? |
| Costa sette euro e cinquanta centesimi. |
| It costs 7 euros and 50 cents. |
| Now, let's look at some more examples. |
| Costa un euro e ottantuno centesimi. |
| It costs 1 euro and 81 cents. |
| Notice that uno, one, is spelled ""un"" |
| when talking about currency, |
| and for that rule, you remember, in the definite article, the wovel, |
| euro, un euro. |
| Next. |
| Costa cinquemila duecento quarantotto euro. |
| It costs 5,248 euros. |
| Remember that the word euro is the same, both the singular and the plural form. |
| Un euro, cinquemila duecento quarantotto euro. |
| Euro. |
| Now, let's look at the sentence pattern. |
| This pattern will be the structure that our dialogue and our example will follow. |
| Costa, number, euro, e, number, centesimo, centesimi. |
| It costs, number, euro, euros, and number, cent, cents. |
| Numbers from 11 to 19 don't follow a pattern, |
| but they have one thing in common. |
| They all contain the word dici, |
| which comes from ""dieci"", meaning ten. |
| Let's see them together. |
| undici |
| dodici |
| tredici |
| quattordici |
| quindici |
| sedici |
| diciassette |
| Diciotto |
| diciannove. |
