What are Dutch numerals?

Dutch numerals are the number words used in the Dutch language to represent numerical quantities. They are used to count, quantify, and express numerical values in Dutch. The Dutch numeral system is based on the decimal system, similar to English, and consists of a combination of words and digits. The basic Dutch numerals from 0 to 10 are: nul (0), één (1), twee (2), drie (3), vier (4), vijf (5), zes (6), zeven (7), acht (8), negen (9), and tien (10). Beyond ten, Dutch numerals follow a pattern of combining the words for the tens and units, such as elf (11), twaalf (12), dertien (13), twintig (20), dertig (30), etc. Dutch numerals also have specific forms for ordinal numbers, fractions, and other numerical expressions.
