How to Form Compound Numbers
Once you’re familiar with the basic numbers, try forming larger numbers like 21, 35, or 78 by combining tens and units. In Lithuanian, numbers like 21 are typically built as “dvidešimt vienas” (literally, “twenty one”), without the word “and”. Here are a few examples:
- 21 – dvidešimt vienas
- 35 – trisdešimt penki
- 78 – septyniasdešimt aštuoni
You’ll notice that the structure stays consistent: [tens] + [unit]. With just a little practice, forming numbers up to 99 becomes easy and intuitive!
