The numbers 1 to 10 in German are: eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, zehn. These numbers form the foundation for counting in German. Learning these basic numbers is essential for beginners and serves as a building block for more complex numerical expressions. Memorizing this sequence will help you navigate everyday situations in German-speaking countries.

Counting above 100 in German follows a logical pattern: hundert (100) plus the remaining number. For example, 101 is einhunderteins, 250 is zweihundertfünfzig, and 999 is neunhundertneunundneunzig. The word order for compound numbers is: hundreds, then ones, then und (and), then tens. For thousands, use tausend before the hundreds place, like eintausendzweihundertdreiundfünfzig for 1,253.

German numbers are generally pronounced as follows: eins (ainss), zwei (tsvai), drei (drai), vier (feer), fünf (fuenf), sechs (zeks), sieben (zee-ben), acht (ahkht), neun (noin), zehn (tsayn). Pay attention to the unique German sounds, such as the ts in zwei and zehn, and the ch sound in acht. Practice with native audio resources to perfect your pronunciation. Remember that regional accents may slightly affect pronunciation in different German-speaking areas.
