The numbers one to ten are quite simple in Gaelic

11-20[edit | edit source]
The numbers 11-20 are also quite straightforward in Gaelic. The word deug is added after the number, just like the English suffix "-teen". The only exception for this is the number twelve. After the number two, the word after is always lenited (or an h is added after the first letter), deug is no exception, and so it becomes dheug.
