Counting to ten in Lithuanian takes ten words: vienas, du, trys, keturi, penki, šeši, septyni, aštuoni, devyni, dešimt. Press the speaker next to a number to hear it, then read below how the noun after it changes.
From eleven to nineteen every number ends in -lika: vienuolika, dvylika, trylika and on up to devyniolika. The tens end in -dešimt: dvidešimt, trisdešimt, keturiasdešimt. A hundred is šimtas, a thousand is tūkstantis.
Bigger numbers are built the way English builds them, largest part first and without “and”: 21 is dvidešimt vienas, 35 is trisdešimt penki, 148 is šimtas keturiasdešimt aštuoni.
After vienas, one, the noun stays singular: vienas obuolys, one apple. After two to nine it goes into the plural: du obuoliai, penki obuoliai.
After ten, after eleven to nineteen and after the round tens the noun takes the genitive plural: dešimt obuolių, vienuolika obuolių, dvidešimt obuolių. In a longer number the last word decides: dvidešimt vienas obuolys, but dvidešimt obuolių.
A number agrees with a feminine noun: vienas obuolys but viena knyga, one book; du obuoliai but dvi knygos; penki obuoliai but penkios knygos. Trys is the same for both. Ten, eleven to nineteen and the round tens never change.
Hundreds and thousands count like nouns: du šimtai, penki šimtai, du tūkstančiai.
Prices. Penki eurai, but dešimt eurų and dvidešimt eurų. Ask Kiek kainuoja?, how much is it, and listen for which form comes back.
