Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, ready to level up our numbers? We know 1 to 20 — today we go from 20 to 100. Luna: Ohh, I've been wanting that! So I can finally say how old I am without using fingers. Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with the tens. After zehn, we have zwanzig — 20. Luna: Zwanzig. Lucas: Good. Then dreißig — 30. Careful: it's not 'drei-ßig' with an 'ei', it's 'drei-ßig'. Luna: Dreißig. Lucas: Then vierzig — 40. Luna: Vierzig. Lucas: Fünfzig — 50. Luna: Fünfzig. Lucas: Sechzig — 60. Luna: Sechzig. Lucas: Siebzig — 70. Luna: Siebzig. Lucas: Achtzig — 80. Luna: Achtzig. Lucas: Neunzig — 90. Luna: Neunzig. Lucas: And einhundert — 100. Luna: Einhundert. That's a lot of numbers. Lucas: But you already know the pattern. Now for numbers like 21, you say einundzwanzig — literally 'one and twenty'. Luna: Einundzwanzig. That's like English 'one and twenty' — old-fashioned. Lucas: Exactly. So 22 is zweiundzwanzig. Luna: Zweiundzwanzig. Lucas: 33 is dreiunddreißig. Luna: Dreiunddreißig. That's a mouthful. Lucas: You'll get it. Let's practice your age: how old are you? Luna: Ich bin... siebenundzwanzig? 27? Lucas: Perfect! Siebenundzwanzig. You said it right. Luna: Ohh, that feels good. So if I'm 27, I say siebenundzwanzig. Lucas: Yes. Now imagine you're buying something for 45 euros. Luna: Fünfundvierzig Euro. Lucas: Exactly. 99? Luna: Neunundneunzig. Lucas: You've got it. Let's do a quick review: 20? Luna: Zwanzig. Lucas: 30? Luna: Dreißig. Lucas: 40? Luna: Vierzig. Lucas: 50? Luna: Fünfzig. Lucas: 60? Luna: Sechzig. Lucas: 70? Luna: Siebzig. Lucas: 80? Luna: Achtzig. Lucas: 90? Luna: Neunzig. Lucas: 100? Luna: Einhundert. Lucas: You nailed them all.

Now, let's do a quick dialogue. Imagine you're at a market and the seller says: Das macht fünfunddreißig Euro. Luna: Fünfunddreißig Euro. Okay. Lucas: You hand over a 50-euro note. You say: Hier, fünfzig Euro. Luna: Hier, fünfzig Euro. Luna: Fünfzehn Euro zurück. That's 15. Lucas: Right. Now, let's practice saying the year 1999. In German: neunzehnhundertneunundneunzig. Luna: Neunzehnhundertneunundneunzig. That's a long word! Lucas: But you can break it down: neunzehnhundert + neunundneunzig. Luna: Neunzehnhundert, neunundneunzig. Lucas: Perfect. You're ready to use these numbers in real life. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. I feel so much more confident now. Lucas: That's what we're here for. Practice these, and next time we'll combine them with prices and shopping. Luna: Can't wait. Bis zum nächsten Mal! Lucas: Bis zum nächsten Mal!
