Grammar Tips:

In Italian numbers from 1 to 20 are unique and therefore need to be memorized individually. Numbers from 21 and upwards are formed by using the following pattern: for example 21 can be formed by using 20 + 1 while connecting them. 22 = ventidue. When 2 vowels are together, the first is dropped to make ventuno (not ventiuno, 21) and ventotto (not ventiotto, 28). 45 can be formed by using 40 + e + 5 while connecting them: 45 = Quarantacinque.
