And when that number is an adjective:

Tengo veintiún años.
- Tengo veintiuno (ya se entiende que son años).
Esto puede interesar:
Veintiuna mil personas o veintiún mil personas
Los numerales compuestos que contienen el numeral simple uno, una concuerdan en género con el sustantivo al que determinan cuando lo preceden inmediatamente, por eso debe decirse veintiuna personas, treinta y una toneladas (y no veintiún personas, treinta y un toneladas). [Para los casos de apócope, véase Veintiuna personas, veintiuno por ciento en esta misma sección].

This optional usage is explained again in MacFadden's article.
Gender in Spanish numbers. Note that some Spanish numbers must follow the gender, when they qualify a noun. For example, 21321301 is the number "veintiún millones trescientos veintiún mil trescientos uno", but talking about pounds (feminine) or dollars (masculine), it will be "veintiún millones trescientas veintiuna mil trescientas una libras" or "veintiún millones trescientos veintiún mil trescientos un dólares", respectively. This is optional in the case of the numbers before "mil", so it could also be "veintiún millones trescientos veintiún mil trescientas una libras". Also note that it is always "veintiún millones" (masculine) because this "veintiún" refers to millones, which is always masculine.
Hello, and welcome to the forum. You may be interested in this. You just type a number into it (like 12,345) and it spells out how to pronounce the number in Spanish for you (like doce mil trescientos cuarenta y cinco).

Veintiún mil ochocientos . No "O" after veintiún.............
That's right except you don't need the accent - veintiuno mil ochocientos
