Kardinalzahl Glossary of terms

Kardinalzahlen are numbers that express an exact quantity of elements in a set.

Detailed Explanation

In German, Kardinalzahlen follow specific formation and usage rules. The numbers from 1 to 12 have unique forms, while from 13 onwards they are constructed by combining units and tens. A unique feature for English speakers is that for numbers 21-99, the unit is said before the ten (e.g., einundzwanzig - one-and-twenty).
