Brojevi

Numbers in Croatian are divided between cardinal = glavni brojevi and ordinal numbers = redni
brojevi.

Cardinal numbers

Main usage of cardinal numbers is to answer "how many". Besides that, they are also known as
"counting numbers". Keep this in mind - when it comes to cardinal numbers above twenty, you
should just add the conjunction "i". For instance: twenty three - dvadeset i tri - consistes of number
twenty (dvadeset) + and (i) + three ( tri).

Examples:

Imam dva brata - I have two brothers.

Jučer sam pojeo jednu jabuku! - Yesterday, I ate one apple.

Mislio sam da je dva plus dva, četiri. - I thought two plus two is four.

They are also known as "counting numbers". Keep this in mind - when it comes to numbers above
one hundred - you should just add cardinal number + hundred. For instance: three hundred in
Croatian would be - tri (three) and sto (hundred).

two hundred dvjesto

three hundred tristo

four hundred četiristo

five hundred petsto

six hundred šesto

seven hundred sedamsto

eight hundred osamsto

nine hundred devetsto

thousand tisuća

two thousand tri tisuće

ten thousand deset tisuća

Practice: Write all the numbers between 20 and 30.

Ordinal numbers

Compared to cardinal numbers, ordinal numbers tell the order of things in a set: first, second,
fifteenth. Ordinal numbers do not show the quantity, whereas cardinal do. The same rule follows as
for cardinal numbers, they consist of a number and an ending that changes according to a gender (-i
(masculinum), -a (femininum), -e (neutrum))
