Veintitrés. Numbers, from twenty to twenty-nine are written together with an "i", in Spanish, from thirty to subsequents are written separately: veintiuno, veintidós, veintitrés, veinticuatro [...], veintinueve, treinta, treinta y uno, etc.

In Spanish, "v" has also the same pronunciation as "b".

That's curious that in bicol "lamesa" is written with the article, too (la_mesa).

Thank you for clarifying how to write twenty to twenty-nine in Spanish
What about sixteen, is it dies y seis or diesiseis; dies y siete or diesisiete;
etc....etc...?

Dios Mabalos (Thank you)

Note: Literal translation of Dios Mabalos is God will repay (God will return the favor).
