Introduction to Numbers in Norwegian Bokmål

Numbers in Norwegian Bokmål are not just for counting; they're also essential for expressing age, time, and money. You'll find that many interactions in Norway require you to know your numbers, whether you're shopping, scheduling a meeting, or simply ordering food.

Here’s a brief overview of how numbers are structured in Norwegian Bokmål:

• Cardinal Numbers: These are the basic counting numbers (one, two, three, etc.).

• Ordinal Numbers: These indicate position or order (first, second, third, etc.).

Let's dive into the numbers!

Numbers 1-20

To get started, we will learn the numbers from 1 to 20. Here’s a handy table that outlines each number along with its pronunciation and English translation:

Norwegian Bokmål	Pronunciation	English
1	en	one
2	to	two
3	tre	three
4	fire	four
5	fem	five
6	seks	six
7	sju	seven
8	åtte	eight
9	ni	nine
10	ti	ten
11	elleve	eleven
12	tolv	twelve
13	tretten	thirteen
14	fjorten	fourteen
15	femten	fifteen
16	seksten	sixteen
17	sytten	seventeen
18	atten	eighteen
19	nitten	nineteen
20	tjue	twenty

Practice saying each number out loud, paying attention to the pronunciation. You might find that some numbers sound quite different than in English, which makes practice essential.

Tens and Beyond

Now that you’ve mastered numbers 1-20, let’s move on to the tens and beyond. Here’s a table that shows how to form the tens in Norwegian:

Norwegian Bokmål	Pronunciation	English
30	tretti	thirty
40	førti	forty
50	femti	fifty
60	seksti	sixty
70	sytti	seventy
80	åtti	eighty
90	nitti	ninety
100	hundre	one hundred

Now, to form numbers between the tens, you simply combine the tens with the units:

• 21 is tjueen (twenty-one)

• 22 is tjueto (twenty-two)

• 31 is trettien (thirty-one)

• 42 is førti-to (forty-two)

• 99 is nitti-ni (ninety-nine)

Here’s how the numbers from 21 to 100 look:

Norwegian Bokmål	Pronunciation	English
21	tjueen	twenty-one
22	tjueto	twenty-two
23	tjuetre	twenty-three
24	tjuefire	twenty-four
25	tjuefem	twenty-five
26	tjueseks	twenty-six
27	tjuesju	twenty-seven
28	tjueåtte	twenty-eight
