Macedonian numerals are words that are used in Macedonian for expressing quantity. The Macedonian numerals have three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine and neutral) and they can have articles. There are several types of numerals: cardinal numerals, ordinal numerals, collective numerals and multiplicative numerals.
The cardinal numerals in Macedonian are:
| Symbol | Cardinal numeral (masc.) | Cardinal numeral (fem.) | Cardinal numeral (neu.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | нула (nula) | ||
| 1 | еден (eden) | една (edna) | едно (edno) |
| 2 | два (dva) | две (dve) | |
| 3 | три (tri) | ||
| 4 | четири (četiri) | ||
| 5 | пет (pet) | ||
| 6 | шест (šest) | ||
| 7 | седум (sedum) | ||
| 8 | осум (osum) | ||
| 9 | девет (devet) | ||
| 10 | десет (deset) | ||
The numerals from 10 - 20 are formed by adding the suffix -наесет (-naeset) to the basic numeral. The suffix -naeset comes from the Old Macedonian suffix -на десет (-na deset).
| Symbol | Cardinal numeral |
|---|---|
| 11 | единаесет (edinaeset) |
| 12 | дванаесет (dvanaeset) |
| 13 | тринаесет (trinaeset) |
| 14 | четиринаесет (četirinaeset) |
| 15 | петнаесет (petnaeset) |
| 16 | шестнаесет (šestnaeset) |
| 17 | седумнаесет (sedumnaeset) |
| 18 | осумнаесет (osumnaeset) |
| 19 | деветнаесет (devetnaeset) |
The numerals 20, 30, 40 and 60 are formed by adding the suffix -есет (-eset, from the Old Macedonian -десет/ -deset). The numerals 50, 70, 80 and 90 are formed by adding the old suffix -десет (-deset). Notice that when we form the number 60, we do not pronounce or write the last two letters of the basic number, шест (šest) > шеесет (šeeset). The same rule goes for the number 50, in other words, we do not pronounce or write the last letter of the basic number. These two rules are used for better and easier pronunciation.
| Symbol | Cardinal numeral |
|---|---|
| 20 | дваесет (dvaeset) |
| 30 | триесет (trieset) |
| 40 | четириесет (četirieset) |
| 50 | педесет (pedeset) |
| 60 | шеесет (šeeset) |
| 70 | седумдесет (sedumdeset) |
| 80 | осумдесет (osumdeset) |
| 90 | деведесет (devedeset) |
The numbers between the decimal numbers are formed on the following way: decimal number + и (and) + the basic number.
| Symbol | Cardinal numeral (masc.) | Cardinal numeral (fem.) | Cardinal numeral (neu.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | дваесет и еден (dvaeset i eden) | дваесет и една (dvaeset i edna) | дваесет и едно (dvaeset i edno) |
| 22 | дваесет и два (dvaeset i dva) | дваесет и две (dvaeset i dve) | |
| 23 | дваесет и три (dvaeset i tri) | ||
| 24 | дваесет и четири (dvaeset i četiri) | ||
| 25 | дваесет и пет (dvaeset i pet) | ||
| 26 | дваесет и шест (dvaeset i šest) | ||
| 27 | дваесет и седум (dvaeset i sedum) | ||
| 28 | дваесет и осум (dvaeset i osum) | ||
| 29 | дваесет и девет (dvaeset i devet) | ||
The numbers 100, 200 and 300 are formed by adding the word -сто (-sto) to the basic number. The numbers over 300 are formed by adding the suffix -стотини (-стотини) to the basic number.
| Symbol | Cardinal numeral |
|---|---|
| 100 | сто (sto) |
| 200 | двесте (dveste) |
| 300 | триста (trista) |
| 400 | четиристотини (četiristotini) |
| 500 | петстотини (petstotini) |
| 600 | шестотини (šeststotini) |
| 700 | седумстотини (sedumstotini) |
| 800 | осумстотини (osumstotini) |
| 900 | деветстотини (devetstotini) |
| 1 000 | илјада (iljada) |
The decagonal numerals are formed by adding the word -илјада (-iljada) to the basic numeral. The numbers between the decagonal numbers are formed on the same way as the numbers between the decimal numbers.
| Symbol | Cardinal numeral |
|---|---|
| 1000 | илјада (iljada) |
| 2000 | две илјади (dve iljadi) |
| 3000 | три илјади (tri iljadi) |
| 4000 | четири илјади (četiri iljadi) |
| 5000 | пет илјади (pet iljadi) |
| 6000 | шест илјади (šest iljadi) |
| 7000 | седум илјади (sedum iljadi) |
| 8000 | осум илјади (osum iljadi) |
| 9000 | девет илјади (devet iljadi) |
| 10 000 | десет илјади (deset iljadi) |
| etc... | |
The millions and the numbers between the millions are formed on the same way as the decagonal numerals.
| Symbol | Cardinal numeral |
|---|---|
| 1 000 000 | милион (milion) |
| 2 000 000 | два милиони (dva milioni) |
| 3 000 000 | три милиони (tri milioni) |
| 4 000 000 | четири милиони (četiri milioni) |
| 5 000 000 | пет милиони (pet milioni) |
| 6 000 000 | шест милиони (šest milioni) |
| 7 000 000 | седум милиони (sedum milioni) |
| 8 000 000 | осум милиони (osum milioni) |
| 9 000 000 | девет милиони (devet milioni) |
| 10 000 000 | десет милиони (deset milioni) |
| etc... | |
The further numerals are милијарда / milijarda (billion), трилион / trilion (trillion) etc. and they are formed as the other Macedonian numerals.
The forming of the ordinal numerals depends on the gender of the numeral. To form the ordinal numerals we add -ti (m.), -ta (f.), -to (n.) to the basic numeral. Exception to this rule are the ordinal numerals first, second and third. If the basic word ends on the letter t and we add the suffixes for ordinal numerals, then a double t is generally produced. For the ordinal numerals seventh and eighth, we reduce some of the letters of the basic number, for example: osum > osmi (eighth), sedum > sedmi (seventh).
| Symbol | Ordinal numeral (masc.) | Ordinal numeral (fem.) | Ordinal numeral (neu.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0. | нулти (nulti) | нулта (nulta) | нулто (nulto) |
| 1 | прв (prv) | прва (prva) | прво (prvo) |
| 2 | втор (vtor) | втора (vtora) | второ (vtoro) |
| 3 | трет (tret) | трета (treta) | трето (treto) |
| 4 | четврти (četvrti) | четврта (četvrta) | четврто (četvrto) |
| 5 | петти (petti) | петта (petta) | петто (petto) |
| 6 | шести (šesti) | шеста (šesta) | шесто (šesto) |
| 7 | седми (sedmi) | седма (sedma) | седмо (sedmo) |
| 8 | осми (osmi) | осма (osma) | осмо (osmo) |
| 9 | деветти (devetti) | деветта (devetta) | деветто (devetto) |
| 10 | десетти (desetti) | десетта (desetta) | десетто (desetto) |
| etc... |

The system of Hebrew numerals is a quasi-decimal alphabetic numeral system using the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The system was adapted from that of the Greek numerals sometime between 200 and 78 BCE, the latter being the date of the earliest archeological evidence.
In linguistics, a numeral in the broadest sense is a word or phrase that describes a numerical quantity. Some theories of grammar use the word "numeral" to refer to cardinal numbers that act as a determiner that specify the quantity of a noun, for example the "two" in "two hats". Some theories of grammar do not include determiners as a part of speech and consider "two" in this example to be an adjective. Some theories consider "numeral" to be a synonym for "number" and assign all numbers to a part of speech called "numerals". Numerals in the broad sense can also be analyzed as a noun, as a pronoun, or for a small number of words as an adverb.
A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label. The most basic examples are the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth. Numbers can be represented in language with number words. More universally, individual numbers can be represented by symbols, called numerals; for example, "5" is a numeral that represents the number five. As only a relatively small number of symbols can be memorized, basic numerals are commonly organized in a numeral system, which is an organized way to represent any number. The most common numeral system is the Hindu–Arabic numeral system, which allows for the representation of any non-negative integer using a combination of ten fundamental numeric symbols, called digits. In addition to their use in counting and measuring, numerals are often used for labels, for ordering, and for codes. In common usage, a numeral is not clearly distinguished from the number that it represents.
The Japanese numerals are Numerals that are used in Japanese. In writing, they are the same as the Chinese numerals, and large numbers follow the Chinese style of grouping by 10,000. Two pronunciations are used: the Sino-Japanese (on'yomi) readings of the Chinese characters and the Japanese yamato kotoba.
English number words include numerals and various words derived from them, as well as a large number of words borrowed from other languages.
In written languages, an ordinal indicator is a character, or group of characters, following a numeral denoting that it is an ordinal number, rather than a cardinal number. In English orthography, this corresponds to the suffixes ‑st, ‑nd, ‑rd, ‑th in written ordinals.
Khmer numerals are the numerals used in the Khmer language. They have been in use since at least the early 7th century, with the earliest known use being on a stele dated to AD 604 found in Prasat Bayang, near Angkor Borei, Cambodia.
Swedish is descended from Old Norse. Compared to its progenitor, Swedish grammar is much less characterized by inflection. Modern Swedish has two genders and no longer conjugates verbs based on person or number. Its nouns have lost the morphological distinction between nominative and accusative cases that denoted grammatical subject and object in Old Norse in favor of marking by word order. Swedish uses some inflection with nouns, adjectives, and verbs. It is generally a subject–verb–object (SVO) language with V2 word order.
This article is an informal outline of the grammar of Interlingua, an international auxiliary language first publicized by IALA. It follows the usage of the original grammar text, which is accepted today but regarded as conservative.
The numerals and derived numbers of the Proto-Indo-European language (PIE) have been reconstructed by modern linguists based on similarities found across all Indo-European languages. The following article lists and discusses their hypothesized forms.
Romanian numbers are the system of number names used in Romanian to express counts, quantities, ranks in ordered sets, fractions, multiplication, and other information related to numbers.
In typography and handwriting, a superior letter is a lower-case letter placed above the baseline and made smaller than an ordinary script. The style has traditionally been distinct from superscript. Formerly quite common in abbreviations, the original purpose was to make handwritten abbreviations clearly distinct from normal words. These could also be used to make the important words on signs larger. In technical terms, the superior letter can also be called the superscripted minuscule letter. In modern usage, with word processors and text entry interfaces, superscript and superior letters are produced in the same way and look identical. Their distinction would refer to their usage and not to their form.
The grammar of Macedonian is, in many respects, similar to that of some other Balkan languages, especially Bulgarian. Macedonian exhibits a number of grammatical features that distinguish it from most other Slavic languages, such as the elimination of case declension, the development of a suffixed definite article, the lack of an infinitival verb, and the constructions with ima/nema formed with the auxiliary "to have", among others.
In linguistics, ordinal numerals or ordinal number words are words representing position or rank in a sequential order; the order may be of size, importance, chronology, and so on. They differ from cardinal numerals, which represent quantity and other types of numerals.
Central Atlas Tamazight belongs to the Northern Berber branch of the Berber languages.
Burmese numerals are a set of numerals traditionally used in the Burmese language, although Arabic numerals are also used. Burmese numerals follow the Hindu–Arabic numeral system commonly used in the rest of the world.
In Russian grammar, the system of declension is elaborate and complex. Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, demonstratives, most numerals and other particles are declined for two grammatical numbers and six grammatical cases ; some of these parts of speech in the singular are also declined by three grammatical genders. This gives many spelling combinations for most of the words, which is needed for grammatical agreement within and (often) outside the proposition. Also, there are several paradigms for each declension with numerous irregular forms.
The names for numerals in Slovene are formed in a similar way to that found in other Slavic languages. An exception is the formation of numerals from 21 to 99, in which the unit is placed in front of the decade ("four-and-twenty"), as in German and Dutch. Many numerals alter their form according to grammatical case, and those from 1 to 4 also according to gender.
In linguistics, a distributive numeral, or distributive number word, is a word that answers "how many times each?" or "how many at a time?", such as singly or doubly. They are contrasted with multipliers. In English, this part of speech is rarely used and much less recognized than cardinal numbers and ordinal numbers, but it is clearly distinguished and commonly used in Latin and several Romance languages, such as Romanian.
The Hokkien language has two regularly used sets of numerals, a more ancient colloquial/vernacular or native Hokkien system and a literary system.
