How to Say 67 in French: Soixante-Sept

67 in French is soixante-sept, pronounced /swah-sahnt-SET/ - literally “sixty-seven,” with a hyphen. The x in soixante sounds like s, and the p in sept is silent. The 60s are regular in French; the famous complications only start at 70 (soixante-dix).

Breaking down soixante-sept

Soixante /swah-SAHNT/ (60) - the x is pronounced /s/, a genuine trap on its own - plus sept /set/ (7, silent p). Compound numbers under 100 take a hyphen: soixante-sept. For the pair this builds on, see how to say 6 and 7 in French.

The 60s: a regular decade

Every number in this decade is regular and predictable - the full pattern (and the “et un” rule at 61) lives in French numbers 1 to 100.

Then comes 70 (the cliffhanger)

Right after 69, French shifts logic entirely: 70 is soixante-dix (60+10), and 77 becomes soixante-dix-sept - “sixty-ten-seven.” The full French-math story, including 80 and 90, is told in detail in our French numbers 1 to 100 guide - the 60s you’ve just learned are the calm before that particular storm.

Using 67 in real life

Price: soixante-sept euros. Time is different, though - 6:07 is six heures sept, never soixante-sept, which is a completely unrelated number. Age: il a soixante-sept ans, with liaison carrying the S of ans forward smoothly.

Quick drill

Say soixante alone a few times until the x settles into /s/, then attach sept. Once soixante-sept feels automatic, the whole 60–69 range follows the same shape - and you’re ready for what happens next at 70.
