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: 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
- перший “first”; другий “second”, третій “third”
Adverbial
- вперше “for the first time”; вдруге “for the second time”; втретє “for the third time”
Mult: multiplicative numeral
This is a subtype of adverb.
Examples
- двічі “twice”; тричі “three times”
Frac: fraction
This is a subtype of cardinal numbers. It may denote a fraction or just the denominator of the fraction.
Examples
- пів / половина “half”; третина “one third”; чверть / четвертина “quarter”
Sets: number of sets of things
Morphologically distinct class of numerals used to count sets of things, or nouns that are pluralia tantum.
Examples
- двоє / троє штанів / черевиків “two / three [pairs of] pants / shoes”; as opposed to normal cardinal numbers: дві / три штатини “two / three half-pants”; два / три черевика “two / three shoes”. Note that this form is also used with animate nouns.
Gen: generic numeral
A numeral that is neither of the above.
Examples
- четверо, п’ятеро, десятеро (specific forms of four, five, ten; they are morphologically, syntactically and stylistically distinct from the default forms чотири, п’ять, десять)
- подвійний, потрійний (twofold, threefold; these are morphologically and syntactically adjectives)
- вдвоє, втроє, вчетверо (twofold, threefold, fourfold; these are morphologically and syntactically adverbs)
