Master Swedish Numbers

Swedish numbers follow a clean decimal pattern, but "one" comes in two forms — en (common gender) and ett (neuter gender) — depending on the noun. Like other Germanic languages, compound numbers state the unit before the ten: tjugofyra ("twenty-four") is literally "twenty-four." Eleven (elva) and twelve (tolv) are irregular, while 13–19 follow a regular pattern with the suffix -ton.
