57
Q

Number Structure Exceptions

A
  • When writing a number ending in 8 or 1, drop vowel before adding suffix. This only applies from 20 to 90
    Ex: ventuno = 21, sessantotto = 78
  • When a number ends in 3, the ‘e’ in tre has an accent
    Ex: trenatrè = 33
58
Q

Special Rules for Uno

A
  • Uno (the number) has the same quirks as uno (an)
  • When a number ending in 1 is followed by another word, the final ‘o’ is usually dropped
