Converting Danish Numbers to Lithuanian Numbers

Understanding how to convert numbers from one language to another can be a daunting task, especially when the two languages in question—Danish and Lithuanian—have different linguistic roots and systems. However, with a bit of practice and familiarity, the process can become second nature. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview of converting Danish numbers to their Lithuanian equivalents, complete with examples.

Basic Numbers

The first step in understanding the conversion process is to become familiar with the basic numbers in both languages. Below is a list of English numerical equivalents alongside their Danish and Lithuanian counterparts.

Number	Danish	Lithuanian
0	nul	nulis
1	én	vienas
2	to	du
3	tre	trys
4	fire	keturi
5	fem	penki
6	seks	šeši
7	syv	septyni
8	otte	aštuoni
9	ni	devyni
10	ti	dešimt

Teens and Tens

The structure changes slightly as we move into the teen numbers and multiples of ten. Both languages have unique words for these numbers:

Number	Danish	Lithuanian
11	elleve	vienuolika
12	tolv	dvylika
13	tretten	trylika
14	fjorten	keturiolika
15	femten	penkiolika
16	seksten	šešiolika
17	siebten	septyniolika
18	atten	aštuoniolika
19	nitten	devyniolika
20	tyve	dvidešimt

Examples of Conversion

To better illustrate the conversion, let’s take a few examples.

1. The number 25 in Danish is “femogtyve,” which translates to “dvidešimt penki” in Lithuanian.

2. The number 35 in Danish is “femogtredive,” which translates to “trisdešimt penki” in Lithuanian.

3. The number 57 in Danish is “syvoghalvtreds,” which translates to “penkiasdešimt septyni” in Lithuanian.

As we notice, Danish combines the tens with the unit numbers using a conjunction “og,” while Lithuanian may have an entirely different structure.

Hundreds, Thousands

The transition into larger numbers follows suit:

Number	Danish	Lithuanian
100	hundrede	šimtas
200	to hundrede	du šimtai
1,000	tusinde	tūkstantis
10,000	ti tusinde	dešimt tūkstančių

For example:

• The number 125 in Danish is “hundrede og femogtyve,” which becomes “šimtas dvidešimt penki” in Lithuanian.
• The number 1,234 is “et tusinde toogtrediv” in Danish, which is “tūkstantis du šimtai trisdešimt keturi” in Lithuanian.
