Croatian Numbers

Here are Croatian numbers – and their English translation – first from zero to twenty.

Beyond that, numbers form the same structure of joining two words e.g. “twenty” + “one” (= dvadeset jedan), “twenty” + “two” (= dvadeset dva) and so on for each grouping of ten up to one hundred.
