Rules for Writing Numbers in Finnish[edit | edit source]
Here are the writing rules for the tens, the compound numbers, the hundreds & thousands:
- Numbers from zero to ten are specific words: nolla [0], yksi [1], kaksi [2], kolme [3], neljä [4], viisi [5], kuusi [6], seitsemän [7], kahdeksan [8], yhdeksän [9], and kymmenen [10].
- From eleven to nineteen, the numbers are formed from the matching digits, adding the -toista suffix at the end, which means from the second (ten): yksitoista [11], kaksitoista [12], kolmetoista [13], neljätoista [14], viisitoista [15], kuusitoista [16], seitsemäntoista [17], kahdeksantoista [18], and yhdeksäntoista [19].
- The tens are formed by adding the -kymmentä suffix (partitive case of kymmenen, ten) at the end of the matching multiplier digit, with the obvious exception of ten: kymmenen [10], kaksikymmentä [20], kolmekymmentä [30], neljäkymmentä [40], viisikymmentä [50], kuusikymmentä [60], seitsemänkymmentä [70], kahdeksankymmentä [80], and yhdeksänkymmentä [90]. When composed with a digit, numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine are formed by saying the ten, then the digit with no space (e.g.: kaksikymmentäviisi [25]).
- Hundred (sata, plural sataa) and thousand (tuhat, plural tuhatta) are not separated from the other numbers by a space (e.g.: satakaksikymmentäyksi [121], tuhatkaksisataayhdeksäntoista [1,219]). Actually, all the numbers are written with no space at all, creating very long words.
- The Finnish language uses the long scale for big numbers where the naming pattern of the scale words alternates between the -joona and -jardi suffixes: miljoona (106, million), miljardi (109, billion), biljoona (1012, trillion), biljardi (1015, quadrillion), triljoona (1018, quintillion), triljardi (1021, sextillion)…
