Idiom neutral numbering rules

Now that you’ve had a gist of the most useful numbers, let’s move to the writing rules for the tens, the compound numbers, and why not the hundreds, the thousands and beyond (if possible).

  • Digits from zero to nine are rendered by specific words: nul [0], un [1], du [2], tri [3], kuatr [4], kuink [5], seks [6], sept [7], okt [8], and nov [9].
  • The tens are formed by suffixing the multiplier digit with the word for ten (des), except for ten itself: des [10], dudes [20], trides [30], kuatrdes [40], kuinkdes [50], seksdes [60], septdes [70], oktdes [80], and novdes [90].
  • Compound numbers are formed by stating the ten, then the unit with no space (e.g.: desdu [12], septdesnov [79]).
  • The hundreds are formed by setting the multiplier digit before the word for hundred (sent) with no space, except for one hundred itself: sent [100], dusent [200], trisent [300], kuatrsent [400], kuinksent [500], sekssent [600], septsent [700], oktsent [800], and novsent [900].
  • The thousands are formed by setting the multiplier digit before the word for thousand (mil) separated with a space, except for one thousand itself: mil [1,000], du mil [2,000], tri mil [3,000], kuatr mil [4,000], kuink mil [5,000], seks mil [6,000], sept mil [7,000], okt mil [8,000], and nov mil [9,000].
  • The Idiom Neutral language follows the short scale numbers rule to form big number names, in which every new term greater than one million is one thousand times the previous one: the word for million is milion (106), then we have billion (billion, 109), trillion (trillion, 1012), kuadrilion (quadrillion, 1015), and kuintilion (quintillion, 1018).
