Macedonian numerals


Macedonian numerals are words that are used in Macedonian for expressing quantity. The Macedonian numerals have three grammatical genders (masculine, feminine and neutral) and they can have articles. There are several types of numerals: cardinal numerals, ordinal numerals, collective numerals and multiplicative numerals.

Cardinal numerals

The cardinal numerals in Macedonian are:

SymbolCardinal numeral
(masc.)Cardinal numeral
(fem.)Cardinal numeral
(neu.)
0нула (nula)
1еден (eden)една (edna)едно (edno)
2два (dva)две (dve)
3три (tri)
4четири (četiri)
5пет (pet)
6шест (šest)
7седум (sedum)
8осум (osum)
9девет (devet)
10десет (deset)

The numerals from 10 - 20 are formed by adding the suffix -наесет (-naeset) to the basic numeral. The suffix -naeset comes from the Old Macedonian suffix -на десет (-na deset).

SymbolCardinal numeral
11единаесет (edinaeset)
12дванаесет (dvanaeset)
13тринаесет (trinaeset)
14четиринаесет (četirinaeset)
15петнаесет (petnaeset)
16шестнаесет (šestnaeset)
17седумнаесет (sedumnaeset)
18осумнаесет (osumnaeset)
19деветнаесет (devetnaeset)

The numerals 20, 30, 40 and 60 are formed by adding the suffix -есет (-eset, from the Old Macedonian -десет/ -deset). The numerals 50, 70, 80 and 90 are formed by adding the old suffix -десет (-deset). Notice that when we form the number 60, we do not pronounce or write the last two letters of the basic number, шест (šest) шеесет (šeeset). The same rule goes for the number 50, in other words, we do not pronounce or write the last letter of the basic number. These two rules are used for better and easier pronunciation.

SymbolCardinal numeral
20дваесет (dvaeset)
30триесет (trieset)
40четириесет (četirieset)
50педесет (pedeset)
60шеесет (šeeset)
70седумдесет (sedumdeset)
80осумдесет (osumdeset)
90деведесет (devedeset)

The numbers between the decimal numbers are formed on the following way: decimal number + и (and) + the basic number.

SymbolCardinal numeral
(masc.)Cardinal numeral
(fem.)Cardinal numeral
(neu.)
21дваесет и еден (dvaeset i eden)дваесет и една (dvaeset i edna)дваесет и едно (dvaeset i edno)
22дваесет и два (dvaeset i dva)дваесет и две (dvaeset i dve)
23дваесет и три (dvaeset i tri)
24дваесет и четири (dvaeset i četiri)
25дваесет и пет (dvaeset i pet)
26дваесет и шест (dvaeset i šest)
27дваесет и седум (dvaeset i sedum)
28дваесет и осум (dvaeset i osum)
29дваесет и девет (dvaeset i devet)

:On the same way are formed the rest of the numbers.

The numbers 100, 200 and 300 are formed by adding the word -сто (-sto) to the basic number. The numbers over 300 are formed by adding the suffix -стотини (-стотини) to the basic number.

SymbolCardinal numeral
100сто (sto)
200двесте (dveste)
300триста (trista)
400четиристотини (četiristotini)
500петстотини (petstotini)
600шестотини (šeststotini)
700седумстотини (sedumstotini)
800осумстотини (osumstotini)
900деветстотини (devetstotini)
1 000илјада (iljada)

:The rest of the numbers are formed same as the numerals between the decimal numerals.

The decagonal numerals are formed by adding the word -илјада (-iljada) to the basic numeral. The numbers between the decagonal numbers are formed on the same way as the numbers between the decimal numbers.

SymbolCardinal numeral
1000илјада (iljada)
2000две илјади (dve iljadi)
3000три илјади (tri iljadi)
4000четири илјади (četiri iljadi)
5000пет илјади (pet iljadi)
6000шест илјади (šest iljadi)
7000седум илјади (sedum iljadi)
8000осум илјади (osum iljadi)
9000девет илјади (devet iljadi)
10 000десет илјади (deset iljadi)
etc...

The millions and the numbers between the millions are formed on the same way as the decagonal numerals.

SymbolCardinal numeral
1 000 000милион (milion)
2 000 000два милиони (dva milioni)
3 000 000три милиони (tri milioni)
4 000 000четири милиони (četiri milioni)
5 000 000пет милиони (pet milioni)
6 000 000шест милиони (šest milioni)
7 000 000седум милиони (sedum milioni)
8 000 000осум милиони (osum milioni)
9 000 000девет милиони (devet milioni)
10 000 000десет милиони (deset milioni)
etc...

The further numerals are милијарда / milijarda (billion), трилион / trilion (trillion) etc. and they are formed as the other Macedonian numerals.

Example

  • 12 332 789 : дванаесет милиони триста триесет и две илјади седумстотини осумдесет и девет. (dvanaeset milioni trista trieset i dve iljadi sedumstotini osumdeset i devet)

Ordinal numerals

The forming of the ordinal numerals depends on the gender of the numeral. To form the ordinal numerals we add -ti (m.), -ta (f.), -to (n.) to the basic numeral. Exception to this rule are the ordinal numerals first, second and third. If the basic word ends on the letter t and we add the suffixes for ordinal numerals, then a double t is generally produced. For the ordinal numerals seventh and eighth, we reduce some of the letters of the basic number, for example: osum osmi (eighth), sedum sedmi (seventh).

SymbolOrdinal numeral
(masc.)Ordinal numeral
(fem.)Ordinal numeral
(neu.)
0.нулти (nulti)нулта (nulta)нулто (nulto)
1прв (prv)прва (prva)прво (prvo)
2втор (vtor)втора (vtora)второ (vtoro)
3трет (tret)трета (treta)трето (treto)
4четврти (četvrti)четврта (četvrta)четврто (četvrto)
5петти (petti)петта (petta)петто (petto)
6шести (šesti)шеста (šesta)шесто (šesto)
7седми (sedmi)седма (sedma)седмо (sedmo)
8осми (osmi)осма (osma)осмо (osmo)
9деветти (devetti)деветта (devetta)деветто (devetto)
10десетти (desetti)десетта (desetta)десетто (desetto)
etc...
