Alphabet

The Dutch alphabet consists of the standard 26 Latin letters. (A through Z)
But when using barbarisms or neologisms it is not uncommon to use foreign accents.

  • Überhaupt (German)
  • Prêt a porter (French)
  • Paté (French)
  • Trève (French)

Besides these foreign words the French accent aigu is also used to emphasise a sound or distinguish between two similar words. The accent aigu is primarily used on the e in the word een to distinguish between;
een = a / an
één = one

Dutch also uses the dieresis to indicate a syllable break. For example in the word knieën. In this case the dieresis indicates the syllable structure of this word is knie-en, and not kni-een, a non-existing word that would have a different pronunciation.

The Dutch language has several diphtones (sounds made by combining letters)
AU / OU ; sounds like ow in the English word Now
OE ; sounds like ou the English word You
EU ; non-existent in English
IJ / EI ; non-existent in English
UI ; non-existent in English

Numbers

1 één, 2 twee, 3 drie, 4 vier, 5 vijf, 6 zes, 7 zeven, 8 acht, 9 negen, 10 tien, 11 elf, 12 twaalf, 13 dertien, 14 veertien, 15 vijftien, 16 zestien, 17 zeventien, 18 achttien, 19 negentien.

Starting from 20, counting always takes place by adding the numbers one through nine before the decimal and adding en.
20 twintig, 21 eenentwintig, 22 tweeentwintig, 23 drieentwintig, 24 vierentwintig, 25 vijfentwintig etc.
30 dertig, 40 veertig, 50 vijftig, 60 zestig, 70 zeventig, 80 tachtig, 90 negentig, 100 honderd, 200 tweehonderd, 300 driehonderd etc.

1000 duizend, 2000 tweeduizend, 3000 drieduizend etc. 10.000 tienduizend, 100.000 honderdduizend, 1.000.000 miljoen, 1.000.000.000 miljard, 1.000.000.000.000 biljoen.
