The numeral: meaning groups, counting and piece numerals

Numerals show the amount or the order of things. They fall into two groups: cardinal (quantity) numerals and ordinal numerals. Quantity numerals divide further by the kind of quantity into six: counting (besh), piece (beshta), approximate (beshtacha, o‘nlab), distributive (beshtadan), collective (beshov) and fractional (beshdan bir). Ordinal numerals show sequence: beshinchi. Each kind has its own suffix and question. In the next lessons we study them one by one.
