Converting German Numbers to Dutch Numbers
When learning languages, one of the fundamental aspects to grasp is the number system. German and Dutch, both being Germanic languages, share similarities in their numerical systems. However, they also have distinctive features that any learner should be aware of. This article provides a detailed guide on how to convert German numbers into Dutch numbers, along with examples to illustrate the transformation.
Basic Numbers
In both German and Dutch, the digits from 0 to 10 are straightforward to learn. Let's start with the base numbers:
- 0: null (German) → nul (Dutch)
- 1: eins → één
- 2: zwei → twee
- 3: drei → drie
- 4: vier → vier
- 5: fünf → vijf
- 6: sechs → zes
- 7: sieben → zeven
- 8: acht → acht
- 9: neun → negen
- 10: zehn → tien
As observed, numbers from 0 to 10 exhibit both similarities and differences in their spelling and pronunciation.
Teens (11-19)
Next, we move on to the numbers in the teenage range. While German tends to connect the base number with "zehn," Dutch introduces a slightly different structure.
- 11: elf → elf
- 12: zwölf → twaalf
- 13: dreizehn → dertien
- 14: vierzehn → veertien
- 15: fünfzehn → vijftien
- 16: sechzehn → zestien
- 17: siebzehn → zeventien
- 18: achtzehn → achttien
- 19: neunzehn → negentien
The pattern in Dutch is to prefix the base number with "der" for numbers 13-19, whereas German simply adds "zehn" to the numeral. This transition in structure is an essential consideration when converting numbers.
Tens (20-90)
For the tens, German and Dutch utilize a system that combines the numeral with "zig" or "tien" and follows a similar pattern.
- 20: zwanzig → twintig
- 30: dreißig → dertig
- 40: vierzig → veertig
- 50: fünfzig → vijftig
- 60: sechzig → zestig
- 70: siebzig → zeventig
- 80: achtzig → tachtig
- 90: neunzig → negentig
Compound Numbers (21-99)
The creation of compound numbers in German often combines the unit followed by the tens, with "und" linking them. Dutch retains a similar structure but places the unit before the tens with "en" for connection.
For example:
- 21: einundzwanzig (German) → eenentwintig (Dutch)
- 35: fünfunddreißig → vijfendertig
- 47: siebenundvierzig → zevenenveertig
- 56: sechsundfünfzig → zesenvijftig
- 72: zweiundsiebzig → tweeënzeventig
- 99: neunundneunzig → negenennegentig
Hundreds and Thousands
As we transition to larger figures:
- 100: einhundert → honderd
- 200: zweihundert → tweehonderd
- 1,000: eintausend → duizend
- 2,000: zweitausend → tweeduizend
In Dutch, "honderd" is used for hundreds and "duizend" for thousand, maintaining that systematic simplicity as seen with smaller units.
