Cardinal Numbers
Cardinal numbers are some of the most useful words in any language. You need these numbers to count, do mathematics, express date and time, record dates and milestones, and prepare and interpret recipe quantity among other things.
In Italy, numbers are separated in three digits by a period instead of a comma while decimals are written after a comma instead of a period. Numbers are written as a single word.
