How to Say "twenty-four" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “twenty-four” is “veinticuatro” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Mi hermano tiene veinticuatro años.
My brother is twenty-four years old.
El examen es el veinticuatro de mayo.
The exam is on the twenty-fourth of May.
Hay veinticuatro horas en un día.
There are twenty-four hours in a day.
It stays the same
Unlike the number one (uno/una), veinticuatro never changes its ending. It is always the same whether you are talking about boys, girls, or objects.
Writing it as one word
In Spanish, all numbers from 16 to 29 are written as a single word. Do not use 'y' (and) to separate them like you do with larger numbers (e.g., treinta y cuatro).
Don't use 'and'
Mistake: “veinte y cuatro”
Correction: veinticuatro. Numbers in the twenties are always combined into one word in modern Spanish.
Talking about age
Mistake: “Soy veinticuatro años.”
Correction: Tengo veinticuatro años. In Spanish, you 'have' years rather than 'being' a certain age.
