Latin is a language not spoken by any modern nation. Such a language normally is called a dead (extinct) or ancient language. Surprisingly, Latin is a modern language learned by millions of people for different reasons and also is used within scientific world of all nations. Latin numbers have their own significance.
Steps
Latin numerals have cardinal, ordinal, distributive, and numeral-adverbial forms.
Learn Cardinals
Learn From One to Nine
- Learn counting cardinals from one to nine in Latin
- One: Unus
- Two: Duo
- Three: Tres
- Four: Quattuor
- Five: Quinque
- Six: Sex
- Seven: Septem
- Eight: Octo
- Nine: Novem
Learn From Eleven to Nineteen
- Learn from eleven to nineteen :
- Eleven: Undecim
- Twelve: Duodecim
- Thirteen: Tredecim
- Fourteen: Quattuordecim
- Fifteen: Quindecim
- Sixteen: Sedecim
- Seventeen: Septendecim
- Eighteen: Duodeviginity (actually, two to twenty)
- Nineteen: Undeviginity (actually, one to twenty)
Learn Multiples of Ten
- Now it is time to learn multiples of ten :
- Ten: Decem
- Twenty: Viginity
- Thirty: Triginta
- Forty: Quadraginta
- Fifty: Quinquaginta
- Sixty: Sexaginta
- Seventy: Septuaginta
- Eighty: Octoginta
- Ninety:Nonaginta
Learn Multiples of Hundred and Thousand
- Learn multiples of hundred :
- Hundred: Centum
- Two-hundred: Ducenti
- Three-hundred: Trecenti
- Four-hundred: Quadringenti
- Five-hundred: Quingenti
- Six-hundred: Sescenti
- Seven-hundred: Septingenti
- Eight-hundred: Octingenti
- Nine-hundred: Nongenti
- And at last,
- Thousand: Mille
- Two-thousand: Duo milia
- Three-thousand: Tre milia
- hundred-thousand: Centum milia
- And a million: Deciec centena milia (actually ten-hundred-thousand)
Learn Smaller number Between These Numbers
- Once you know the larger numbers, knowing small numbers is easy in Latin.
- In Latin , in contrast to English, they say seven and forty not forty-seven. Hence,
- Forty-seven: Septem et quadraginta
- Fifty-six: Sex et quinquaginta
- Eighty-five: Quinque et octoginta
- This goes until we get to one-hundred where order of words becomes like English. Thus,
- Hundred and forty-seven: Centum quadraginta septem
- Three-hundred and fifty-six: Trecenti quinquaginta sex
- Seven-hundred and eighty-five: Septingenti octoginta quinque

- Adverbials (the numeral adverbs) define the answer to "how many times?"
- Note that, some how like English you might interpret Latin "ies" as "times."
Learn From One to Nine

- Once: Semel
- Twice: Bis
- Thrice: Ter
- Four times: Quater
- Five times: Quinquies
- Six times: Sexies
- Seven times: Septies
- Eight times: Octies
- Nine times: Novies
Learn From Eleven to Nineteen

- Fourteen times: Quater decies (written separate)
- Fifteen times: Quinquies decies (written separate)
- Sixteen times: Sexies decies (written separate)

- Now learn numeral adverbs multiples of ten :
- Ten times: Decies
- Twenty times: Vicies
- Thirty times: Tricies
- Forty times: Quadragies
- Fifty times: Quinquagies
- Sixty times: Sexagies
- Seventy times: Septuagies
- Eighty times: Octogies
- Ninety times: Nonagies
Learn Multiples of Hundred and Thousand
- Learn multiples of hundred for adverbials:
- Hundred times: Centies
- Two-hundred times: Ducenties
- Three-hundred times: Trecenties
- Four-hundred times: Quadringenties
- Five-hundred times: Quingenties
- Six-hundred times: Sexcenties
- Seven-hundred times: Septingenties
- Eight-hundred times: Octingenties
- Nine-hundred times: Nongenties
- And at last,
- Thousand times: Milies
- Two-thousand times: Bis milies
- Three-thousand times: Ter milies
- hundre-thousand times: Centies milies
- And a million times: Decies centies milies
Learn Smaller number Between These Numbers
- To build numeral adverb change each cardinal to its adverbial form. Hence,
- Forty-seven times: Septies et quadragies
- Fifty-six times: Sexies et quinquagies
- Eighty-five times: Quinqies et octogies
- Hundred and forty-seven times: Centies quadragies septies
- Three-hundred and fifty-six times: Trecenties quinquagies sexies
- Seven-hundred and eighty-five times: Septingenties octogies quinquies

Learn Smaller number Between These Numbers
- Once you know the larger numbers, knowing small numbers is easy in Latin.
- In Latin , in contrast to English, they say seven and forty not forty-seven. Hence,
