Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Romanian numbers have their roots in Latin, just like the rest of the Romanian language. However, it's interesting to note that the words for numbers one to four in Romanian (un, doi, trei, patru) have some similarities with their counterparts in other Romance languages such as Italian and Spanish. This is because they all share a common ancestor, Latin. As for the numbers five to ten, the Romanian words have developed their own distinct forms over time.

In Romanian, numbers are not only used for counting and expressing quantities but also play an important role in telling time, talking about ages, and indicating dates. Mastering the numbers from 1 to 10 will provide you with a solid foundation for understanding and using numbers in various contexts in Romanian.
