Arithmoi Greek Numbers Post One in a Series




ARITHMOI GREEK NUMBERS

Arithmetic is a word of Greek origins coming from ἀριθμοι

Here are the First Four Cardinal Numbers in Greek

I have given them a separate post because the other cardinal numerals are indeclinable.

Masculine Nominative εἱς Accusative ἕνα Genitive ἑνός Dative ἑνί

Feminine Nominative μία Accusative μίαν Genitive μιᾶς Dative μιᾷ

TWO

There are no differences. All genders follow this declension pattern

Nominative and Accusative δύο Genitive and Dative δυοῖν


THREE
