What are Danish numerals?

Danish numerals refer to the number system used in the Danish language. In Danish, the numerals are based on the decimal system, similar to English. The Danish numerals are as follows:

0 - nul
1 - en
2 - to
3 - tre
4 - fire
5 - fem
6 - seks
7 - syv
8 - otte
9 - ni
10 - ti

After ten, the Danish numerals follow a pattern where the tens digit is stated first, followed by the unit digit. For example, 11 is "elleve" (ten-one), 12 is "tolv" (ten-two), and so on. The pattern continues until 20, where the word "tyve" (twenty) is used.

Some other important Danish numerals include:
100 - hundrede
1000 - tusind
1,000,000 - en million

It is worth noting that Danish numerals can be combined to form larger numbers. For example, 23 is "treogtyve" (three-and-twenty), 45 is "femogfyrre" (five-and-forty), and so on.

Overall, Danish numerals are an essential part of the language and are used in various contexts, such as counting, telling time, and expressing quantities.
