Brazilian Portuguese Numbers 1-100 (with Audio)

If you searched for portuguese numbers 1-100, you’re in the right place. Numbers are one of those things you use from day one: prices, phone numbers, times, quantities. This is your complete reference for Portuguese numbers 1 to 100, with audio, plus the simple pattern that lets you build any number in between and the two small rules (gender and pronunciation) that trip beginners up.

Numbers 1 to 20

The tens, and building everything in between

The trick is simple, and it never changes.

Two rules beginners miss

First, gender: um and dois are the only numbers that change for feminine nouns, becoming uma and duas. So it is um carro but uma casa, dois reais but duas horas. Every other number stays the same, whatever the gender. Second, cem vs cento: exactly 100 is cem, but 101 to 199 use cento: cento e um (101), cento e cinquenta (150), cento e cinquenta e um (151). Small rules, but natives notice.

Practice out loud

Numbers are perfect rhythm training. Count your steps, read prices aloud, say your phone number in Portuguese. Pair this with days, months and telling time and the travel phrases, and you have the practical core covered. The pronunciation habits here connect to the full pronunciation guide.

Learn 1 to 20, the tens, and the word “e”, and you can say any number to 100.

The takeaway

Add the gender and cem/cento rules on top and you sound polished. Grab the free phrases below and practice numbers out loud every day, they are the fastest rhythm training there is.
