In Latvian grammar, numbers are an essential aspect that are used in both cardinal (one, two, three) and ordinal (first, second, third) forms. They agree with the noun they modify in case and, in the singular, gender. Like most Indo-European languages, Latvian forms numbers additively up to 20 and multiplicatively from 20 and onward. Learning to properly utilize numbers in Latvian can help express a variety of concepts and enhance communication skills in different contexts.
