NumType: numeral type
Irish numeral forms inflect to demonstrate different grammatical roles.
Card : cardinal numbers
Cardinal numbers can be divided into those without nouns (used in counting, giving the time, etc.), and those with nouns. Those used without nouns use a particle a that is absent in those used with nouns. This particle triggers h-prefix in numbers beginning with a vowel (aon, ocht).
Examples
Counting, etc.:
- a haon “one”
- a seacht “seven”
- a sé a chlog “six o’ clock”
Numbers qualifying nouns:
- dhá bhliain “two years”
- naoi gcapall déag “nineteen horses”
- seasca punt “sixty pounds”
Pers : personal numerals
The personal numerals are used for counting people. From numbers 1-12 this system of counting differs from that used with other nouns, after that, the form is the same as the cardinal form, or a combination of the two forms.
Examples
- duine amháin “one person”
- beirt “two people”
- aon bhean dhéag “eleven women”
- seasca fear “sixty men”
Ord : ordinal numbers
Ordinal numbers can be used to show order of items. In Irish, the form uses the definite article an. (see Definite). The English abbreviation “th” appended to a numeral (as in eighth), is given in Irish as -ú.
Examples
- an chéad lá “the first day”
- an dara dóigh “the second prospect”
- an 17ú Marta “the 17th of March”
