The tens are forming by ending dešimt (ten):
10 – dešimt, 20 – dvidešimt, 30 – trisdešimt, 40 - keturiasdešimt, …, 80 – aštuoniasdešimt, 90 – devyniasdešimt.

101 – šimtas vienas; 114 – šimtas keturiolika,
758 – septyni šimtai penkiasdešimt aštuoni (700 50 8)
The thousands keeps same forming:
1000 – tūkstantis, 2000 – du tūkstančiai, 10000 – dešimt tūkstančių, 11000 – vienuolika tūkstančių,
