Catalan numbering rules

• Digits and numbers from zero to sixteen are specific words, namely zero [0], un [1], dos [2], tres [3], quatre [4], cinc [5], sis [6], set [7], vuit (or huit) [8], nou [9], deu [10], onze [11], dotze [12], tretze [13], catorze [14], quinze [15], and setze [16]. Seventeen to nineteen are regular numbers, i.e. named after the ten and the unit. Deu i set [10 and 7] is phonetically shortened with an apocope as disset (or dèsset), the same occuring with divuit (or díhuit) [18] and dinou (or dènou) [19].
• The tens have specific names based on the digits roots except for ten and twenty: deu [10], vint [20], trenta [30], quaranta [40], cinquanta [50], seixanta [60], setanta [70], vuitanta (or huitanta) [80] and noranta [90].
• The same applies for the hundreds where one word is created by adding a dash between the multiplier and the hundred word, except for one hundred (cent [100], plural cents): dos-cents [200], tres-cents [300], quatre-cents [400]…
• Tens and units are linked with the same dash figuring the conjonction and (eg. trenta-cinc [35]), except for the twenties were i (and) remains (eg. vint-i-cinc [25]).
• The Catalan language uses the long scale for big numbers where every new word greater than a million is one million times bigger than the previous term. Scale numbers are alternating: un milió (10⁶, one million), mil milions (10⁹, one US billion), un bilió (10¹², one US trillion), un biliard (10¹⁵, one US quadrillion), un trilió (10¹⁸, one US quintillion)…
