Key learning points
- Cardinal numbers are numbers used for counting or expressing quantity. Ordinal numbers tell us the order of something.
- For numbers 13-99, say the 2nd digit first e.g., 'vierundzwanzig' = '24'. For 21-99, add ‘und’ between the two numbers.
- For prices, place the € after the numbers and separate euros and cents with a comma. Always say 'Euro' in the singular.
- For ordinal numbers, add -te for numbers 1-19 and -ste for 20+. To say 'on' a date, use 'am' and add -n to the number.
- KaDeWe is short for 'Kaufhaus des Westens' and is a famous large department store in Berlin.

Common misconception
German numbers are said in the same way as English numbers, i.e., tens then units.
The unit is said before the ten in German, e.g., 'neunundvierzig' = '9 and 40' = 49. It is helpful to write from right to left when taking down numbers so that you produce them in the correct order.
