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 ADJ and
ADV respectively. Thus the NumType
feature applies to several different parts of speech:
- NUM: cardinal numerals
- DET: quantifiers
- ADJ: adjectival ordinal and some generic numerals
- ADV: adverbial (e.g. ordinal and multiplicative) numerals
Card
: cardinal number or corresponding interrogative / relative / indefinite / demonstrative word
Examples
- один, два, три “one, two, three”
- скільки “how many”
- кілька “several”
- стільки “so many”
Ord
: ordinal number
This is a subtype of adjective or adverb.
Examples
Adjectival

Mult
: multiplicative numeral
This is a subtype of adverb.

Frac

Sets
: number of sets of things
Morphologically distinct class of numerals used to count sets of things, or nouns that are pluralia tantum.
Examples

- вдвоє, втроє, вчетверо (twofold, threefold, fourfold; these are morphologically and syntactically adverbs)
