Q

Ordinal numbers act as…

A

…adjectives. They describe the noun by telling us where it comes in a stated or assumed order.

e.g.

The first day
The ninth ship
The twelth night

18
Q

1

A

unus

Cardinal number.
Inflects like a normal 1st/2nd decl. adjective

unus, una, unum

19
Q

Does unus have a plural form?

A

Yes!

Although it may seem strange at first sight, ūnus does have a set of plural forms. These forms are used when the associated noun has a plural form, but an inherently singular meaning. For example, the Latin noun castra (“camp”) occurs only as a plural neuter form and takes plural endings, even though it identifies one object, hence: ūnōrum castrōrum (“of one camp”).

20
Q

Does unus decline when used in the compound numerals such as twenty one.

A

Yes!

When ūnus is used to form compound numerals, such as ūnus et vīgintī (“twenty-one”), the case and gender agree with the associated noun, although the singular is used: vīgintī et ūnam fēminās vīdī .

21
Q

Is ūnus mīlle in common usage?

A

No!

Unlike duo and trēs, the word ūnus is almost never used with mīlle (“thousand”) to indicate how many thousand.

22
Q

2

A

duo

Cardinal number.
Irregular inflection duo, duae, duo

23
Q

24
Q

duarum

A

genitive fem. of duo (two)

25
Q

nom. fem. of duo (two)

26
Q

duobus, duabus, duobus

A

masc, fem, and neut of duo (two) in both ablative and dative cases.

27
Q

duos/duo, duas, duo

A

masc, fem, and neut of duo (two) in the accusative case.

28
Q

Do cardinal numbers decline in latin?

A

Most cardinal numbers are indeclinable - they behave like indeclinable adjectives.

The exceptions which do decline are unus, duo, tres, multiples of centum, although not 100 (ie centum) and mille.
