The numbers from zero to a billion, the ordinals and a few useful number words. The teens start with tizen- and the twenties with huszon- ; after that, the tens just join on: ▶ harmincöt (35). Numbers up to 2000 are written as one word, and larger ones are split with a hyphen into groups of three: ▶ kĂ©tezer-huszonhat (2026). See Lesson 2 for how they fit together.
