Los números: 21 - 30

21 = veintiuno (veintiún, veintiuna)*
22 = veintidós*
23 = veintitrés*
24 = veinticuatro
25 = veinticinco
26 = veintiséis*
27 = veintisiete
28 = veintinueve
30 = treinta

*Note 1: the numbers 21 (veintiún), 22, 23 and 26 have an accent! That is because they end in -S or -N.

Note 2: as with number one (uno), number 21 (veintiuno) mirrors the gender of the word they describe.

Ejemplo:

Hay veintiún alumnos en mi clase.
There are 21 students in my class.

Hay veintiuna sillas en la clase.
There are 21 chairs in the class.

Note 3: the numbers from 21 to 29 are just contractions of 20 and the unit ("veinte y uno" becomes "veintiuno", "veinte y dos" becomes "veintidós" and so on).
