Numbers in Latin

Numbers in Latin are as easy as one-two-three, except that the numbers one, two, and three are declined to match the same case, number, and gender as the noun they are describing.

This video covers Latin cardinal numbers, the numbers we use to count.

+fayabun dem The English word "sex" comes from the verb seco, to cut ("sex" is related etymologically to "scissors"), because the Latin term "sexus" (whence comes "sex" and "sexual") refers to the division of genders, the cutting of humans and animals into masculine and feminine. Only after Latin does it come to mean the act performed by the sexes. The number "sex" is obviously related etymologically to the words for the same number in other languages: "six", "sechs", and "hex".

I have been wanting to learn Latin. Glad I found this channel.

I suppose I reduce the quantity on that short u down to almost nothing (it's barely there, but you have to listen very carefully), but I've got good support for that: all of the Romance languages drop the u in their modern versions of "four" (cuatro, quatre, quattro, quatro). I could have probably done it better and pronounced it a bit more, instead of rolling it into the -or. These short vowels before other vowels are problematic in Latin: compare to "Italia" (I-tal-ya).

Romanian and Portuguese use to be the most underrated Romance Languages. Btw Romanian has the closest alphabetic system from Latin... would be interesting to see it as comparative example instead of Spanish Italian or French ones

Un Classical french and still use in Belgium, Switzerland and Acadia
So, 70 is Septante (which is Soixante dix in metropolitan and Quebecois french)
