Cardinal numeral

Play: numerals

Cardinal numerals from 0 to 10

The forms "o" and "un" precede a noun: un băiat (one boy) – o fată (one girl).

The forms "unu" (for a masculine or a neuter word) and "una" (for a feminine word) are used independently, as an answer of a question.

Example 1

-Câte cărți vrei? (How many books do you want?)

-Una (one).

-Câte telefoane vrei? (How many phones do you want?)

-Unu (one).

The structure "una carte" or "unu telefon" does not exist.

The form "doi" is used for a masculine noun and "două" for a feminine and a neuter noun.

Example 2

doi băieți (two boys)

două fete (two girls)

două telefoane (two phones)

Numerals from 11 to 20
