Generally speaking, in English and French, numbers written out as words are written with hyphens, for example, thirty-eight, cinquante-sept (57), though in Spanish, numbers are written as separate words (38 translating into Spanish as treinta y ocho). In German, numbers between 13 and 99 are written as single words, for example, dreizehn (13), dreiundzwanzig (23), einunddreißig (31).
