# Russian Numbers: Count From 0 to 1000 With Audio

By [Daily Cyrillic](/about) · Updated 2 Nov 2026

Russian numbers follow repeatable patterns: learn zero to twenty, the tens and the hundreds, then combine them for larger values. Numbers change form in grammatical contexts, and counted nouns take different forms after one, two to four, and five or more. Use the audio tables to practise both pronunciation and written spelling.

## Numbers 0 to 20

Start here. Zero through ten are the irreducible building blocks - learn them cold. Eleven through nineteen are formed regularly from a root plus the ending -надцать (literally an old form of on ten), so once you can hear the pattern they are easy: одиннадцать, двенадцать, тринадцать and so on up to девятнадцать. Twenty, двадцать, opens the next layer.

One small but important detail: один (one) and два (two) change form for gender. One is один (masculine), одна (feminine), одно (neuter); two is два (masculine and neuter) but две (feminine). Every other number from this list keeps a single form.

Numbers 0 to 20
| Russian | Translit. | Meaning | Listen |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ноль | nol | zero |  |
| один | odín | one (m.) |  |
| два | dva | two (m./n.) |  |
| три | tri | three |  |
| четыре | chetýre | four |  |
| пять | pyat | five |  |
| шесть | shest | six |  |
| семь | sem | seven |  |
| восемь | vósem | eight |  |
| девять | dévyat | nine |  |
| десять | désyat | ten |  |
| одиннадцать | odínnadtsat | eleven |  |
| двенадцать | dvenádtsat | twelve |  |
| тринадцать | trinádtsat | thirteen |  |
| четырнадцать | chetýrnadtsat | fourteen |  |
| пятнадцать | pyatnádtsat | fifteen |  |
| шестнадцать | shestnádtsat | sixteen |  |
| семнадцать | semnádtsat | seventeen |  |
| восемнадцать | vosemnádtsat | eighteen |  |
| девятнадцать | devyatnádtsat | nineteen |  |
| двадцать | dvádtsat | twenty |  |

## Tens up to 100

The tens are mostly built from the single digits. Note сорок (forty) and девяносто (ninety), which are special one-off words, and сто (one hundred), which is short and irregular. The middle tens (пятьдесят, шестьдесят, семьдесят, восемьдесят) are a digit fused with -десят, the genitive plural of ten.

To build a two-digit number you simply say the ten, then the unit, with no joining word: двадцать один (21), тридцать пять (35), девяносто девять (99). There is nothing extra to memorize once you know the tens and the units.

Tens up to 100
| Russian | Translit. | Meaning | Listen |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| тридцать | trídtsat | thirty |  |
| сорок | sórok | forty |  |
| пятьдесят | pyatdesyát | fifty |  |
| шестьдесят | shestdesyát | sixty |  |
| семьдесят | sémdesyat | seventy |  |
| восемьдесят | vósemdesyat | eighty |  |
| девяносто | devyanósto | ninety |  |
| сто | sto | one hundred |  |

## Hundreds and thousands

The hundreds follow a clear pattern from сто: двести (200), триста (300), четыреста (400), then пятьсот, шестьсот, семьсот, восемьсот, девятьсот for 500-900. Тысяча is one thousand, and миллион is one million.

Larger numbers are read left to right just like English: тысяча девятьсот девяносто девять is 1999. The grammar of large numbers (which case the counted noun takes) gets intricate, but for reading and saying the number itself the system is fully regular.

Hundreds and thousands
| Russian | Translit. | Meaning | Listen |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| двести | dvésti | two hundred |  |
| триста | trísta | three hundred |  |
| четыреста | chetýresta | four hundred |  |
| пятьсот | pyatsót | five hundred |  |
| тысяча | týsyacha | one thousand |  |
| миллион | millión | one million |  |

## Ordinal numbers (1st to 10th)

Ordinals (first, second, third) are adjectives, so they agree with their noun in gender, number and case - the forms below are the masculine singular. Most are regular, but первый (first), второй (second) and третий (third) are worth memorizing as a set since they appear constantly in dates and floors.

You will use ordinals for dates (первое января, the first of January), floors of a building, and ranking. As adjectives they behave exactly like the color and quality adjectives you meet elsewhere in the vocabulary cluster.

Ordinal numbers (1st to 10th)
| Russian | Translit. | Meaning | Listen |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| первый | pérvyy | first |  |
| второй | vtoróy | second |  |
| третий | trétiy | third |  |
| четвёртый | chetvyórtyy | fourth |  |
| пятый | pyátyy | fifth |  |
| шестой | shestóy | sixth |  |
| седьмой | sedmóy | seventh |  |
| восьмой | vosmóy | eighth |  |
| девятый | devyátyy | ninth |  |
| десятый | desyátyy | tenth |  |

## How numbers agree with nouns (the short version)

Here is the one piece of number grammar worth previewing - just be aware it exists. After один the noun is singular (один стол). After два, три, четыре (and numbers ending in 2, 3, 4) the noun takes the genitive singular (два стола). After пять and above (and numbers ending in 5-0, plus 11-14) the noun takes the genitive plural (пять столов).

Caveat: this is a simplified preview, not the full rule, and cases interact with it. You do not need to master it to start counting. Learn the numbers first as vocabulary; when you are ready, our cases guide covers the genitive that this agreement relies on.

## FAQ

### How do you count to ten in Russian?

Один (1), два (2), три (3), четыре (4), пять (5), шесть (6), семь (7), восемь (8), девять (9), десять (10). Zero is ноль. Each has audio on this page so you can hear the correct stress.

### How do you say 100 and 1000 in Russian?

One hundred is сто (sto) and one thousand is тысяча (týsyacha). The hundreds in between are двести (200), триста (300), четыреста (400), then пятьсот through девятьсот for 500-900.

### Do Russian numbers change form?

A few do. Один changes for gender (один/одна/одно) and два has a feminine form две. Ordinals (первый, второй) are adjectives and agree with their noun. Most cardinal numbers from three up keep a single form for basic counting.

### Why does the noun after a number change?

Russian numbers govern the case of the noun they count: один takes a singular noun, два/три/четыре take the genitive singular, and пять and above take the genitive plural. It is a real rule but you can learn the numbers first and add the agreement later.

### What is the easiest way to memorize Russian numbers?

Drill them with audio and spaced repetition rather than reading a list once. Learn 0-10 cold, then the -надцать pattern for 11-19, then the tens. Tap Add to your deck on the flashcards here to review them at the right intervals.
