How do you pronounce it?

/noˈbenta/

Did you know?

  • The Spanish language describes a 90-degree angle as un ángulo recto, rather than calling it a noventa grado angle as one might in English.
  • When counting from 91 to 99, Spanish speakers use noventa y … which means 'ninety and …', a structure that differs from the fused words used for numbers 21 through 29.
  • In many Spanish-speaking regions, the pronunciation of the 'v' in noventa sounds almost identical to a soft English 'b', making it sound like 'nobenta'.
