Numbers 10-20
Numbers between 10 and 20 have a very simple pattern that is actually the same as all the number higher than 20, it is just that tíz (10) becomes tizen- than the number between 10 and 20 (learned in the previous section) is added.
Let me give you a few examples:
Remember: tizen-
11: tizenegy
12: tizenkettő
13: tizenhárom
And so on.. until reaching:
19: tizenkilenc
20: húsz
Numbers 10-100
Let’s see the tens!

How to form numbers?
Hungarian takes the tens (sometimes with some modification but only to make them sound better!), then adds the number between 1-9.
11: tíz + egy = tizenegy
22: húsz + kettő = huszonkettő (ú changes to u!)
33: harminc + három = harminchárom
44: negyven + négy = negyvennégy
55: ötven + öt = ötvenöt
66: hatvan + hat = hatvanhat
77: hetven + hét = hetvenhét
88: nyolcvan + nyolc = nyolcvannyolc
99: kilencven + kilenc = kilencvenkilenc
After 100?
111: száztizenegy
222: kétszázhuszonkettő (kettő changes to két- before the „száz”!)
333: háromszázharminchárom
444: négyszáznegyvennégy
And so on… Until they reach ezer (1000). When they will start again – like kétezer, háromezer, százezer, etc.
Bad news is that until 2000, Hungarians spell the whole number as one word. (Sorry!)
After 2000, they will use hyphen after the thousand. So 1999 is ezerkilencszázkilencvenkilenc, but 2001 is kétezer-egy.
