German numbers
German numbers are similar to their English counterparts. Like most languages, the German number system is based mainly on the first 10 numbers. They occur over and over throughout all the higher numbers. However, there is one big difference. Numbers like 21, 45 and 98 have the single digit first, with und ("and") connecting it to the tens as individual words, for example, einundzwanzig, fünfundvierzig und achtundneunzig (literally, one-and-twenty, five-and-forty, and eight-and-ninety).
