<!-- (audio) Mateo: Veinticinco años. -->

--description--

In Spanish, the number 20 is veinte.

When forming numbers from 21 to 29, the words change slightly. Veinte becomes veinti- (the final e is removed), then it joins with the next number. For example:

  • Veinti + dos (two) = veintidós (22)

  • Veinti + cinco (five) = veinticinco (25)

  • Veinti + ocho (eight) = veintiocho (28)
