- It is a basic cardinal number used for counting.
- Commonly heard when discussing ages, quantities, and time (14:00).
- Pronounced like 'feer-tsen'.
The German word for the number fourteen is 'vierzehn'. This is a fundamental cardinal number used in everyday counting, just like in English. You'll hear 'vierzehn' when discussing ages, quantities of objects, times, dates, prices, and any other situation where you need to express the quantity of fourteen.
- Basic Usage
- 'Vierzehn' is used to count things. For example, if you have fourteen apples, you would say 'Ich habe vierzehn Äpfel.' (I have fourteen apples).
- In Ages
- When referring to someone's age, if they are fourteen years old, you would say 'Er ist vierzehn Jahre alt.' (He is fourteen years old).
- In Time
- If it is fourteen minutes past the hour, you might hear 'Es ist vierzehn nach.' (It is fourteen past.)
- In Dates
- On the fourteenth day of a month, you would say 'am vierzehnten Tag' (on the fourteenth day).
In my basket, there are vierzehn Äpfel.
Learning numbers is a foundational step in mastering any language. 'Vierzehn' is one of the first sets of numbers you will encounter. It's important to recognize its sound and spelling. You'll find this number appearing in countless everyday situations, from shopping to planning events. Think about how many times you use the number fourteen in your own language daily, and you'll realize how frequently you'll encounter 'vierzehn' in German. Practice saying it out loud to get comfortable with its pronunciation. Understanding its usage in context, such as with ages or quantities, will solidify your comprehension. Don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to remember; consistency is key. The more you expose yourself to German, the more natural 'vierzehn' will become.
- Counting Objects
- Imagine you are at a bakery and see a tray with exactly fourteen croissants. You would point and say, 'Oh, vierzehn Croissants!'
- Discussing Events
- If a party is scheduled for the fourteenth of the month, someone might ask, 'Wann ist die Party?' (When is the party?), and the answer could be, 'Am vierzehnten.' (On the fourteenth.)
- Expressing Quantities
- You might be buying books and the shopkeeper says, 'Das macht vierzehn Euro.' (That makes fourteen Euros.)
The train leaves at vierzehn Uhr.
Understanding the context in which 'vierzehn' is used is crucial for fluency. It's not just about knowing the number; it's about knowing how to deploy it correctly in conversation. For instance, when talking about the time, Germans often use the 24-hour clock, so 'vierzehn Uhr' means 2 PM. This is a common point of confusion for English speakers who are used to the 12-hour clock. Pay attention to the surrounding words to grasp the specific meaning. Whether it's counting down to a birthday, discussing the number of students in a class, or ordering fourteen items, 'vierzehn' is a versatile and frequently used number. Its simplicity belies its importance in constructing basic German sentences and understanding everyday communication.
Using 'vierzehn' correctly in sentences is straightforward, as it functions much like the number fourteen in English. It typically appears as a cardinal number modifying a noun or as a standalone quantity. The key is to place it appropriately within the sentence structure. When it precedes a noun, it directly indicates the quantity of that noun. For example, 'vierzehn Bücher' means fourteen books.
- With Nouns
- 'Ich habe vierzehn Stifte.' (I have fourteen pens.) Here, 'vierzehn' quantifies 'Stifte'.
- As a Standalone Quantity
- 'Wie viele Äpfel sind das?' (How many apples are those?) 'Das sind vierzehn.' (That's fourteen.)
- In Ages
- 'Mein Bruder ist vierzehn Jahre alt.' (My brother is fourteen years old.)
- In Time (24-hour clock)
- 'Der Unterricht beginnt um vierzehn Uhr.' (The lesson begins at fourteen o'clock / 2 PM.)
We need vierzehn chairs for the party.
Consider the sentence structure: Subject + Verb + Number + Object. For example, 'Ich kaufe vierzehn Bücher.' (I am buying fourteen books.) This pattern is very common. You can also form questions using 'wie viele' (how many). 'Wie viele Seiten hat das Buch?' (How many pages does the book have?) If the book has fourteen pages, the answer would be 'Es hat vierzehn Seiten.' (It has fourteen pages.)
- Dates
- 'Mein Geburtstag ist am vierzehnten Juli.' (My birthday is on the fourteenth of July.) Note the addition of '-ten' when used in this specific date context, forming an ordinal number derivative.
- Prices
- 'Der Preis beträgt vierzehn Euro.' (The price amounts to fourteen Euros.)
- Quantities in Lists
- In a shopping list, you might see: 'Milch, Brot, vierzehn Eier.' (Milk, bread, fourteen eggs.)
There are vierzehn days until the holiday.
Practice constructing simple sentences using 'vierzehn' in various contexts. Try describing a scene with fourteen items, stating someone's age, or mentioning a time using the 24-hour clock. The more you actively use the word in sentence construction, the more natural it will feel. Pay attention to the grammatical case of the noun that 'vierzehn' modifies, although for numbers themselves, the number doesn't change. The surrounding sentence structure will guide you. For example, in the sentence 'Ich habe vierzehn Euro bei mir.' (I have fourteen Euros with me.), 'vierzehn' directly precedes 'Euro' and remains unchanged.
You will encounter the German word 'vierzehn' in a multitude of everyday situations, making it a crucial part of basic conversational German. Listen carefully in environments where numbers are frequently used. For instance, at the supermarket, a cashier might tell you the total cost: 'Das macht vierzehn Euro.' (That makes fourteen Euros.) This is a very common scenario.
- Public Transportation
- When checking train or bus schedules, you might hear announcements or see times like 'vierzehn Uhr' (14:00 or 2 PM).
- School and Education
- In a classroom, a teacher might say, 'Wir haben nur noch vierzehn Minuten Zeit.' (We only have fourteen minutes left.)
- Age Discussions
- When someone mentions their age, especially a teenager, you might hear, 'Ich bin vierzehn.' (I am fourteen.)
- Shopping for Quantities
- If you're buying items in bulk, like a pack of fourteen batteries, the packaging or a salesperson might refer to 'vierzehn Stück' (fourteen pieces).
The store has vierzehn different kinds of cheese.
In a restaurant, when ordering food, you might hear: 'Wir hätten gerne vierzehn Minuten für die Bestellung.' (We would like fourteen minutes for the order.) This could be a request for time to decide. Also, during phone calls, numbers are essential. If someone asks for your phone number and it contains fourteen, you'll hear it clearly. When discussing dates, like a holiday or an event, 'am vierzehnten' (on the fourteenth) will be used. Even in simple games or when counting items, 'vierzehn' is a common number to hear. The more you listen, the more you'll recognize its pronunciation and context. Don't hesitate to replay audio segments if you miss it; repetition is key to auditory recognition.
- Sports Scores
- In a football match, the score might be announced as 'Das Ergebnis ist vierzehn zu zehn.' (The score is fourteen to ten.)
- Age of Buildings or Objects
- 'Dieses Haus ist vierzehn Jahre alt.' (This house is fourteen years old.)
- Counting Items in a Set
- 'Ich habe vierzehn Fotos gemacht.' (I took fourteen photos.)
The recipe calls for vierzehn grams of sugar.
One of the most common mistakes learners make with 'vierzehn' is mispronunciation or confusion with similar-sounding numbers. German number pronunciation can be tricky, especially the 'v' which often sounds like 'f'. So, 'vierzehn' sounds more like 'feer-tsen' than 'vee-er-tsen'.
- Pronunciation Errors
- Confusing the 'v' sound: Saying 'vierzehn' with a hard 'v' like in 'victory' is incorrect. It should be a soft 'f' sound. Also, misplacing the stress can make it sound unintelligible.
- Confusion with 'dreizehn' or 'fünfzehn'
- 'Dreizehn' (thirteen) and 'fünfzehn' (fifteen) sound similar. Learners might mix these up, especially in fast speech. Paying attention to the initial consonant sound ('dr' vs. 'f' vs. 'f' followed by 'z') is key.
- Incorrect Ordinal Form
- When referring to the date, the number needs an ending. Simply saying 'vierzehn' for the fourteenth of the month is incorrect. It should be 'vierzehnten'. For example, 'am vierzehnten Mai' (on the fourteenth of May).
- Using 'Zehn' and 'Vier' Separately
- Some beginners might try to construct 'vierzehn' by saying 'zehn und vier' (ten and four) or similar constructions, which is not how German numbers above ten are formed. 'Vierzehn' is a single, distinct word.
Mistake: 'Ich habe vierzig Äpfel.' (I have forty apples.) Correct: 'Ich habe vierzehn Äpfel.' (I have fourteen apples.)
Another pitfall is forgetting the context. For instance, when stating time, 'vierzehn Uhr' is 2 PM, not 14 minutes past the hour. If someone says 'Es ist vierzehn', they are likely referring to the quantity of something, not the time, unless 'Uhr' is explicitly mentioned. Always consider the surrounding words to correctly interpret the meaning. Learners might also overgeneralize the use of endings. While some numbers take endings (like in dates), 'vierzehn' itself, when directly quantifying a noun, remains unchanged. For example, 'vierzehn Euro', not 'vierzehnen Euro'. Consistent practice and exposure to authentic German are the best remedies for these common errors.
- Confusing Cardinal and Ordinal
- Mistake: 'Mein Haus Nummer vierzehn.' (Incorrect for address). Correct: 'Meine Hausnummer ist vierzehn.' (My house number is fourteen.) or 'Ich wohne in der vierzehnten Straße.' (I live on the fourteenth street - if referring to an ordinal street name).
- Incorrect Word Order
- Mistake: 'Ich habe Euro vierzehn.' Correct: 'Ich habe vierzehn Euro.' (I have fourteen Euros.)
Failure to use the 24-hour clock correctly: Saying 'Es ist vierzehn Minuten nach eins' (It is fourteen minutes past one) when meaning 2 PM is wrong. Correct for 2 PM is 'vierzehn Uhr.'
While 'vierzehn' is the direct translation for fourteen, understanding its place among other numbers and related concepts is important for comprehensive language learning. The most obvious alternatives are the numbers immediately surrounding it.
- Numbers Close By
- Dreizehn (thirteen): The number immediately preceding 'vierzehn'.
- Fünfzehn (fifteen): The number immediately following 'vierzehn'.
- Zehn (ten): A component of 'vierzehn' (vier + zehn), but also a standalone number.
- Vier (four): Another component of 'vierzehn'.
Comparison: 'Ich habe dreizehn Äpfel.' vs. 'Ich habe vierzehn Äpfel.' vs. 'Ich habe fünfzehn Äpfel.'
- Ordinal Numbers
- While 'vierzehn' is a cardinal number (how many), ordinal numbers describe position or order. The ordinal form related to 'vierzehn' is often used for dates.
- Der vierzehnte (the fourteenth): Used for dates or in sequences. Example: 'Der vierzehnte Tag des Monats.' (The fourteenth day of the month.)
Comparison: 'Ich brauche vierzehn Minuten.' (I need fourteen minutes - cardinal) vs. 'Am vierzehnten ist das Treffen.' (The meeting is on the fourteenth - ordinal, referring to the date).
- Approximations and Estimates
- Sometimes, exact numbers are not necessary. You might hear phrases that approximate fourteen.
- ungefähr vierzehn (approximately fourteen): Used when the number isn't exact.
- etwa vierzehn (about fourteen): Similar to 'ungefähr'.
- mehr als vierzehn (more than fourteen): Indicates a quantity greater than fourteen.
- weniger als vierzehn (less than fourteen): Indicates a quantity smaller than fourteen.
Contextual Usage: 'Wir sind ungefähr vierzehn Leute.' (We are approximately fourteen people.) vs. 'Wir sind genau vierzehn Leute.' (We are exactly fourteen people.)
How Formal Is It?
재미있는 사실
The structure of German numbers from 11 to 19 is unique among many European languages. Instead of saying 'ten-four' as in English, German says 'four-ten' (vierzehn). This pattern is consistent across these numbers, like dreizehn (three-ten) and fünfzehn (five-ten).

- Pronouncing the 'v' as in English 'victory'.
- Misplacing the stress on the second syllable.
- Not clearly enunciating the 'ts' sound in 'zehn'.
난이도
As a basic cardinal number, 'vierzehn' is very easy to recognize in written text once learned. Its presence doesn't significantly increase reading difficulty at the A1 level.
Spelling 'vierzehn' correctly is straightforward after practice. The main challenge is remembering the correct order of 'vier' and 'zehn'.
Pronunciation can be tricky due to the 'v' sounding like 'f' and the 'ts' sound. Mimicking native speakers is key.
Distinguishing 'vierzehn' from similar numbers like 'dreizehn' or 'fünfzehn' in fast speech requires practice.

팁
Master the 'V' Sound
In German, the letter 'v' at the beginning of a word is usually pronounced like an 'f'. So, 'vierzehn' sounds more like 'feer-tsen'. Practice this sound to avoid confusion.
Dates Need Endings
While 'vierzehn' is the cardinal number, for dates, you'll often use the ordinal form 'der vierzehnte' or 'am vierzehnten'. Note the '-ten' ending.
Break It Down
Think of 'vierzehn' as 'vier' (four) + 'zehn' (ten). This helps in remembering both its components and its value. Visualize four sets of ten items.
Use It Actively
Incorporate 'vierzehn' into your daily practice. Count objects, state your age if applicable, or make up sentences about prices and times. Active use solidifies learning.
Listen for the 'ts' sound
The 'zehn' part of 'vierzehn' has a distinct 'ts' sound, similar to the 'ts' in 'cats'. Listen for this sound when native speakers say the word.
Compare with Similar Numbers

Write it Out
Write 'vierzehn' multiple times. Try writing sentences using it in different contexts to reinforce spelling and usage.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문The pronunciation is roughly 'feer-tsen'. The 'v' sounds like an 'f', the 'r' is a guttural sound, and 'zehn' has a 'ts' sound. The stress is on the first syllable.
Germans commonly use the 24-hour clock in formal settings, such as train schedules, official announcements, and sometimes in daily conversation to avoid ambiguity between AM and PM. So, 'vierzehn Uhr' means 2 PM.
When referring to the date, the ordinal form 'der vierzehnte' (or 'am vierzehnten') is used. For example, 'Am vierzehnten Mai' means 'On the fourteenth of May'. 'Vierzehn' itself is the cardinal number.
As a cardinal number directly preceding a noun, 'vierzehn' generally does not change its form. However, when used in specific grammatical contexts, such as forming ordinal numbers for dates, it takes endings.
'Vierzehn' means fourteen (14), while 'vierzig' means forty (40). The key difference is the ending: '-zehn' for numbers in the teens and '-zig' for multiples of ten (like forty, fifty, etc.).
Yes, you can refer to 'the number fourteen' by saying 'die Zahl vierzehn'. However, in most contexts, it functions as a determiner or quantifier modifying a noun.
The spelling is quite regular once you know the components 'vier' and 'zehn'. The main challenge is remembering the order and the 'tz' sound in 'zehn'.
You say 'vierzehn Jahre alt'. For example, 'Mein Freund ist vierzehn Jahre alt.'
Common mistakes include mispronunciation (e.g., pronouncing 'v' as in English 'victory'), confusing it with similar numbers like 'dreizehn' or 'fünfzehn', or incorrectly using the cardinal form for dates instead of the ordinal 'vierzehnten'.
No, 'vierzehn' is a fundamental number and is relatively easy to learn. The main challenges are its pronunciation and distinguishing it from similar numbers.

- Vierzehn is the German word for fourteen (14).
- It is a basic cardinal number used for counting.
- Commonly heard when discussing ages, quantities, and time (14:00).
- Pronounced like 'feer-tsen'.
Master the 'V' Sound
In German, the letter 'v' at the beginning of a word is usually pronounced like an 'f'. So, 'vierzehn' sounds more like 'feer-tsen'. Practice this sound to avoid confusion.
Context is Key for Time
Remember that 'vierzehn Uhr' means 2 PM. Germans frequently use the 24-hour clock, so 'vierzehn' in relation to 'Uhr' refers to the afternoon hour.
Dates Need Endings
While 'vierzehn' is the cardinal number, for dates, you'll often use the ordinal form 'der vierzehnte' or 'am vierzehnten'. Note the '-ten' ending.
Break It Down
Think of 'vierzehn' as 'vier' (four) + 'zehn' (ten). This helps in remembering both its components and its value. Visualize four sets of ten items.
