Digits and numbers from zero to twelve are specific words: nul [0], én / éi / étt (m/f/n) [1], to [2], tre [3], fire [4], fem [5], seks [6], sju [7], åtte [8], ni [9], ti [10], elleve [11], and tolv [12].

From thirteen to nineteen, the numbers are formed from the matching digits, adding the word for ten (ten) at the end: tretten [13], fjorten [14], femten [15], seksten [16], sytten [17], atten [18], and nitten [19].

The tens are formed by suffixing the digit root with the word for ten (ti), except for ten and twenty: ti [10], tjue [20], tretti [30], førti [40], femti [50], seksti [60], sytti [70], åtti [80], and nitti [90].

From twenty-one to ninety-nine, the tens and units are joined with no space (e.g.: tjueni [29], trettifire [34]).

Hundreds are formed by stating the multiplier digit before the word for hundred (hundre, which is of a neuter gender), except for one hundred where it is optional: (ett) hundre [100], to hundre [200], tre hundre [300], fire hundre [400], fem hundre [500], seks hundre [600], sju hundre [700], åtte hundre [800], and ni hundre [900].

Thousands are formed the same way as hundreds, i.e. by stating the multiplier digit before the word for thousand (tusen, neuter too): ett tusen [1,000], to tusen [2,000], tre tusen [3,000], fire tusen [4,000], fem tusen [5,000], seks tusen [6,000], sju tusen [7,000], åtte tusen [8,000], and ni tusen [9,000].

Compound numbers link hundreds and tens or unit, but also thousands and tens or unit with the conjonction og (and): hundre og fire [104], ett tusen og tjueén [1,021].

Higher scale numbers are million (plural: millioner) or 10⁶, and milliard (10⁹, the US billion), both being masculine.
