Swedish/Numerals

Numbers up to 20:

	Cardinal	Ordinal
0	noll	nollte
1	ett or en	första
2	två	andra
3	tre	tredje
4	fyra	fjärde
5	fem	femte
6	sex	sjätte
7	sju	sjunde
8	åtta	åttonde
9	nio	nionde
10	tio	tionde
11	elva	elfte
12	tolv	tolfte
13	tretton	trettonde
14	fjorton	fjortonde
15	femton	femtonde
16	sexton	sextonde
17	sjutton	sjuttonde
18	arton	artonde
19	nitton	nittonde
20	tjugo	tjugonde

Note: Ett is neuter, en is uter; "the digit 1" is "siffran ett" in Swedish. Especially when counting, four is often pronounced as fyr. Nio and tio are commonly pronounced as nie, tie, respectively. Tjugo is usually pronounced tjugi, and so on with the following multiples of ten (tretti instead of trettio, förti instead of fyrtio , etc.). Forty is never pronounced the way it is spelled (fyrtio), it becomes förti(o).

Multiples of 10:

Cardinal	Ordinal	English	Comment
tio	tionde	ten
tjugo	tjugonde	twenty	Tjugo is usually spelled tjugi. For cardinal numbers between 21 and 29, tjugo is commonly pronounced as tju, e.g. tjuåtta for 28.
trettio	trettionde	thirty
fyrtio	fyrtionde	forty	Fyrtio is pronounced as förti and sometimes written as förtio.
femtio	femtionde	fifty
sextio	sextionde	sixty
sjuttio	sjuttionde	seventy
åttio	åttionde	eighty
nittio	nittionde	ninety
etthundra	hundrade	one hundred	One commonly only says etthundra to distinguish it from e.g. tvåhundra.
etttusen	tusende	one thousand
en miljon	miljonte	one million
en miljard	miljarte	one billion
en biljon	biljonte	one trillion
en triljon	triljonte	one quintillion

Numbers are made up like in English: 55 is femtiofem, 73rd is sjuttiotredje. The -tio ending is commonly pronounced as -ti for the cardinal numbers (but not for the ordinal numbers). Swedish uses the long scale, that is it uses same system for large numbers as British English, not American English.

Other numbers:

	Svenska	English
10 000	tio tusen	ten thousand
100 000	hundra tusen	a hundred thousand
10 000 000	tio miljoner	ten million

Particularity in writing the date:

	Svenska
1 842	artonhundrafyrtiotvå
2 013	tjugohundratretton (tvåtusentretton)

Note: To make numbers between these, you add a number 1-9 not in parenthesis, e.g. 55 is femtiofem, 73rd is sjuttiotredje, 20,000 is tjugotusen. However, tjugo is in this case commonly pronounced as tju, e.g. tjuåtta for 28. The -tio ending is commonly pronounced as -ti but not in the parenthesis case. Fyrtio is pronounced as förti and sometimes written as förtio. One commonly only say etthundra to distinguish it from e.g. tvåhundra. As you might have guessed, Swedish uses the same system for large numbers as e.g. the UK, not the system used in the US.
