Ingrian numbering rules

  • Numbers from zero to ten are specific words: null [0], üks [1], kaks [2], kold [3], neljä [4], viis [5], kuus [6], seitsemän [7], kaheksan [8], üheksän [9], and kümmenän [10].
  • From eleven to nineteen, the numbers are formed from the matching digits, adding the -toist(a) suffix at the end, which means from the second (ten): yksitoista [11], kakstoist [12], koldtoist [13], neljätoist [14], viistoist [15], kuustoist [16], seitsemäntoist [17], kaheksantoist [18], and üheksäntoist [19].
  • The tens are formed by adding the -kümmend suffix (partitive case of kümmenän, ten) at the end of the matching multiplier digit, with the obvious exception of ten: kümmenän [10], kakskümmend [20], koldkümmend [30], neljäkümmend [40], viiskümmend [50], kuuskümmend [60], seitsemänkümmend [70], kaheksankümmend [80], and üheksänkümmend [90].
  • Compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine are formed by saying the ten, then the digit separated with a space (e.g.: kakskümmend viis [25], koldkümmend seitsemän [37]).
  • One hundred is sada, and one thousand, tuhad.
