Traditionally, counting in Gaelic was based on sets of twenty. Forty would therefore be "dà fhichead" (two twenties), thirty "deich ar fhichead" (Lit. ten past twenty) and so on. You will hear both systems being used by Gaelic speakers so it is helpful to recognise both. The Numbers game lists the numerals 1-50 in the decimal form. To find out more about the traditional counting system, visit the Beag air Bheag Gaelic learning site at bbc.co.uk/beagairbheag and select section 8.
After two, twenty, one hundred and one thousand: You may have noticed that after "dà" (two) the noun stays in its singular form and lenition occurs ("h" is inserted after the first vowel softening the word sound.) Nouns also retain their singular form after the numbers twenty, one hundred and one thousand.
For example:
Dà not - two pounds,
fichead not - twenty pounds but
trì notaichean - three pounds.
