NumType
: numeral type
Ukrainian has a complex system of numerals.
From the syntactic point of view, some numtypes behave like adjectives and some behave like adverbs. They are tagged uk-pos/ADJ and
uk-pos/ADV respectively. Thus the NumType
feature applies to several different parts of speech:
- uk-pos/NUM: cardinal numerals
- uk-pos/DET: quantifiers
- uk-pos/ADJ: adjectival ordinal and some generic numerals
- uk-pos/ADV: adverbial (e.g. ordinal and multiplicative) numerals
Card

Examples
- один, два, три “one, two, three”
- скільки “how many”
- кілька “several”
- стільки “so many”
Ord
: ordinal number
