NumType: numeral type
In Turkish numbers can be cardinal, ordinal or distributive. We also mark the interrogative kaç “how many” as a number, which inflects the same way the numbers are inflected and can become ordinal or distributive.
Card: cardinal number or corresponding interrogative
Examples
- 1, 2, 3
- bir, iki, üç “one, two, three”
- kaç kitap okudun “how many books did your read”
Ord: ordinal number or corresponding interrogative
In some languages, this is a subtype of adjective or adverb.
In Turkish, we mark the ordinal numerals as NUM.
Ordinal numerals are formed by the suffix -IncI. A period following a numeral may also indicate ordinal use of the number.
Examples
- 1., 2., 3.
- birinci, ikinci, üçüncü “first, second, third”
- kaçıncı kitabı okudun “which (of a series) book did your read” (answer should be something like ikinci “(the) second”)
Dist: distributive numeral
Used to express that the same quantity is distributed to each member in a set of targets.
Distributive numerals are formed by the suffix -(ş)Ar.
Examples
- birer, ikişer, üçer “one each, two each, three each”
- kaçar kitap okudunuz “how many books have you each read”
