Vietnamese Numbers | 11-20
With Vietnamese numbers we have the blessing of not needing to remember the new words eleven and twelve, as you vày in English.
It’s actually really easy because we just use the format mười + number
| 11 | mười một |
| 12 | mười hai** |
| 13 | mười ba |
| 14 | mười bốn |
| 15 | mười lăm/mười nhăm* |
| 16 | mười sáu |
| 17 | mười bảy |
| 18 | mười tám |
| 19 | mười chín |
| 20 | hai mươi |
Can you see the pattern? It’s quite easy to follow isn’t it.
We just take the number for 10 and then địa chỉ cửa hàng on the next digit. There are a couple of notes though.
For the number 15 – (*) “lăm/nhăm” is a casual phonetic variation of “năm”, và usually occurs when the number 5 shows up in the unit of a two-digit number in daily conversation (such as 25, 45 etc).
“Lăm” is more popular in the Southern dialect while “nhăm” is a Northern variation.
For the number 12 – (**) Similarly to English, Vietnamese people also have a different word for “a dozen”, which is “một tá”.
It is more commonly used for when you are shopping for a dozen eggs – một tá trứng.
Vietnamese Numbers | 20-100
Going up khổng lồ 100 in Vietnamese numbers is straightforward now we have the basics nailed down.
We use the theory we learned from 11-20.
Number + 10 + Number
Pronunciation – Number+ mươi + number
Here are some examples
| 21 | hai mươi mốt* |
| 32 | ba mươi hai |
| 43 | bốn mươi ba |
| 54 | năm mươi bốn |
| 65 | sáu mươi lăm |
Regarding the number 21 (*) “mốt” is a phonetic variation of 1 – “một”. It also only applies for two-digit numbers from 20 upwards.
Here are the multiples of 10 up lớn 100 also.

| 30 | ba mươi |
| 40 | bốn mươi |
| 50 | năm mươi |
| 60 | sáu mươi |
| 70 | bảy mươi |
| 80 | tám mươi |
| 90 | chín mươi |
| 100 | một trăm/trăm |
There are some other things to note as well.
For even numbers, “mươi” can also be pronounced as “chục”, which means the same thing.
“Mươi” can be used for both odd and even numbers. For example, you can pronounce 80 as” tám mươi” or “tám chục” but you can’t pronounce 99 as “chín chục chín”, only “chín mươi chín” is acceptable.
4 can be pronounced as “tư” (especially in the South) except for when talking about Maths.
25 has another phonetic variation, which is “hăm lăm” where “hăm” is the shortened version of “hai mươi” or 20 & “lăm” is the phonetic variation of “năm” or 5.
Don’t worry if all this seems a lot lớn take in, it’s not essential you remember all these rules straight away. Every language has it’s quirks with numbers and just takes a little practice and exposure.
