Exactly 100. It becomes cento in 101 and up
Every compound below 100 takes an e
From 21 upwards, join the ten and the unit with e: vinte e um, trinta e dois, noventa e nove. There are no single-word numbers as in Spanish and no silent joins as in Italian.
The e joins hundreds to tens and tens to units, so 101 is cento e um and 135 is cento e trinta e cinco. A multiplier never takes one, which is why 2000 is dois mil and not dois e mil.
One and two agree with what they are counting. Um livro but uma mesa; dois livros but duas mesas. This carries into compounds: vinte e uma casas.

Exactly 100. It becomes cento in 101 and up
Beyond 100
Hundreds agree in gender: duzentos livros but duzentas casas. Quinhentos for 500 is irregular, as are setecentos and novecentos.
The e that joins the ten to the unit is not used everywhere. It joins hundreds to tens and tens to units, so 135 is cento e trinta e cinco, but a multiplier never takes one, which is why 2000 is dois mil and not dois e mil.
Cem is exactly 100; anything above it uses cento. Milhão is a noun and takes de: um milhão de pessoas.

Why vinte sounds like VEEN-chee
In most of Brazil, te and de at the end of a word are said chee and jee. Vinte becomes VEEN-chee, sete becomes SEH-chee, onde becomes ON-jee.
European Portuguese does not do this; there vinte is closer to VEEN-tuh.
The respellings on this page follow Brazilian Portuguese, which is what most learners hear first.
