Let’s learn to count in Italian: numbers eleven to twenty

Italian numbers from eleven to sixteen are formed by adding the suffix “-dici”.

For numbers 17 to 19, “dici-” is placed before the number, so (diciassette) is pronounced like ‘ten-seven’.
Also note that numbers 17 and 19 carry a double consonant.
