Learning to count in Latin is as easy as 1-2-3! Most of the endings are indeclinable, meaning they do not change according to case, number and gender. Only the endings for the numerals 1, 2, and 3 are case and gender-sensitive.
Study these examples of Latin numerals one through twelve:
una puella
one girl
septem angelī
seven angels
duæ columbæ
two doves
octō angelī

novem nummī
nine coins
quattuor fēminæ
