Apart from adding the suffixes -s and -es, numbers can be observed in Spanish
nouns by using the numerals themselves with the nouns. They should agree with one
another – if the noun is more than one, a plural suffix should be present in the word. Here
is the table for Spanish numerals:

0	cero	[seh-ro]
1	uno	[oo-no]
2	dos	[dohs]
3	tres	[trehs]
4	cuatro	[kwat-roh]
5	cinco	[sink-oh]
6	seís	[seys]
7	siete	[see-eh-te]
8	ocho	[oh-cho]
9	nueve	[nweh-veh]
10	diez	[dee-ez]
11	once	[on-seh]
12	doce	[doh-seh]
13	trece	[tre-seh]
14	catorce	[ka-tor-seh]
15	quince	[keen-seh]
16	diez y seís	[dee-ehz ee seys]
17	diez y siete	[dee-ehz ee see ehteh]
18	diez y ocho
19	diez y nueve
20	veinte	[behn-teh]
21	veinte y uno	[behn-teh ee oo noh]
