Learning the Welsh Numbers displayed below is vital to the language. Welsh cardinal number convey the "how many" they're also known as "counting numbers," because they show quantity.
In Welsh numbers from 1 to 20 are unique and therefore need to be memorized individually. Numbers from 21 and upwards are formed by using the following pattern: for example 21 can be formed by using 20 + 1 (dau ddeg un) while connecting them. 22 = dau ddeg dau. 45 can be formed by using 40 + 5 while connecting them: 45 = pedwar deg pump. 100 = cant; 1000 = mil.
