How to Count from 1 to 100 in Norwegian

Understanding Norwegian Number Basics

Counting in Norwegian is straightforward once you grasp the basic patterns. Norwegian numbers follow a consistent pattern with few exceptions, making them easier to learn.

Numbers from 1 to 10

Counting Beyond Ten

Once you reach ten, numbers in Norwegian become combinations of words, much like in English. For example, eleven in Norwegian is elleve. The language combines tens and units similarly to English.

Tens and Beyond

For numbers like twenty, thirty, and so on, the Norwegian language uses a combination of the tens prefix and 'en' for the connecting sound. For example, twenty is tjue and thirty is tretti.

• 20 - Tjue
• 30 - Tretti
• 40 - Førti
• 50 - Femti
• 60 - Seksti
• 70 - Søtti
• 80 - Åtti
• 90 - Nitti

Hundreds

Hundreds in Norwegian are simpler: you use the number for one hundred, two hundred, etc., followed by hundre. Thus, one hundred is hundre, two hundred is to hundre.

Practice Your Counting Skills

Try counting out loud in Norwegian, going from 1 to 100. You will quickly see the patterns, and repetition will help solidify your skills.
