Always Stays the Same
Unlike numbers like 'uno' (one) or 'ciento' (hundred), 'veinte' is invariable—it doesn't change its ending whether the noun it describes is masculine or feminine (e.g., veinte días, veinte noches).
Using the 'And'
Mistake: “Using 'y' (and) between numbers in the teens and twenties, like 'diez y nueve' or 'veinte y uno'.”
Correction: Numbers 16 through 29 are written as single words in Spanish: 'diecinueve' and 'veintiuno'.
