Identifier: cardinalNumeral   Type: simple   Origin: Prague Dependency Treebank, among others   Profiles: Private, Morphosyntax

Is a: numeral

Definition: A word denoting a number.
Source: DZ

Example: en: "one", "two", "three", "eleven", "twenty-two", "hundred", "thousand"
Source: DZ

Explanation: Cardinal numerals, as a subclass of numerals, contrast with ordinal numerals, multiplicative numerals, generic numerals etc. However, some theories prefer to classify the non-cardinals as adjectives, adverbs etc. rather than numerals.

Identifier: genericNumeral   Type: simple   Origin: Prague Dependency Treebank   Profiles: Private, Morphosyntax

Is a: numeral

Definition: A numeral used to indicate the number of sets/kinds of objects.
Source: DZ

Example: cs: "jedny", "dvoje", "dvojí", "čtvery", "čtvero"
Source: DZ

Explanation: cs: "jedny" is morphologically plural of "jeden" / "jedna" / "jedno" = "one". While the normal cardinal numeral (singular form) means that there was one object, the generic numeral (plural form) means there was one set/sort of such objects. Example: "jedna ponožka" = "one sock" vs. "jedny ponožky" = "one pair of socks". For numerical values higher than 1, the grammatical number is inherently plural but the form of the generic numeral diverges from the cardinal numeral. Example: "dvě ponožky" = "two socks" vs. "dvoje ponožky" = "two pairs of socks"; "čtyři ponožky" = "four socks" vs. "čtvery ponožky" = "four pairs of socks"; "troje dokumenty" = "three sets of documents". Generic numerals must be used with pluralia tantum instead of cardinal numerals. For instance, "dveře" = "door" is in Czech plurale tantum, therefore we must say "dvoje dveře", not "dvě dveře". Another type of generic numerals is exemplified in "sedmero krkavců" = "seven ravens". This type is a bit archaic and can be used in place of a normal cardinal number. Its behavior is closer to a noun with the "n-tuple" sense (although "seven-tuple" would be translated more directly as "sedmice", which is really considered a noun, not a numeral). Another type of generic numeral is exemplified in "dvojí" = "twofold".

Identifier: indefiniteCardinalNumeral   Type: simple   Origin: Prague Dependency Treebank   Profiles: Private, Morphosyntax

Is a: numeral

Definition: A word used to express imprecise quantity.
Source: DZ

Example: cs: "několik" ("some"), "mnoho" ("many/much"), "málo" ("few"/"little"), "kdovíkolik" ("who knows how many")
Source: Prague Dependency Treebank (http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/pdt/Corpora/PDT_1.0/References/mman.html#pos-tags)

Explanation: Some Czech indefinite numerals are derived from interrogative numerals in the same way as indefinite pronouns are derived from interrogative ones: pronoun "kdo" ("who") -> "někdo" ("someone"); numeral "kolik" ("how many") -> "několik" ("some").

Is a: numeral

Definition: A word indicating imprecise number of times something happened.
Source: DZ

Example: cs: "několikrát" ("a few times"), "mnohokrát" ("many times"), "vícekrát" ("more times")

Explanation: Multiplicative numerals, including indefinites, behave syntactically as adverbs.

Identifier: indefiniteOrdinalNumeral   Type: simple   Origin: Prague Dependency Treebank   Profiles: Private, Morphosyntax

Is a: numeral

Definition: A word used to indicate imprecise rank of an object in a sequence.
Source: DZ

Example: cs: "několikátý" ("umpteenth"): "Už je to několikátý případ." = lit. "Already is it umpteenth case." = "There have been more cases already."
Source: Lingea Lexicon 5 en-cs

Explanation: Ordinal numerals typically follow adjectival declension patterns and also their syntactic behavior is adjectival, hence in some theories they may be classified as adjectives or determiners.
Source: DZ

Note: In Prague Dependency Treebank 1.0, indefinite ordinal numerals are grouped together with other adjectival indefinite numerals, such as "nejeden" ("more than one"), which is indefinite cardinal numeral.

Identifier: interrogativeCardinalNumeral   Type: simple   Origin: Prague Dependency Treebank   Profiles: Private, Morphosyntax

Is a: numeral

Definition: An interrogative/relative word used to ask about quantity.
Source: DZ

Example: cs: "kolik" ("how many") Interrogative usage: "Kolik stojí kilo jablek?" = lit. "How-many costs kilo apples-gen?" = "How much does a kilo of apples cost?" Relative usage: "Nevím, kolik jablek sním." = lit. "I-do-not-know, how-many apples-gen I-will-eat." = "I don't know how many apples I'll eat."

Is a: numeral

Definition: An interrogative/relative word used to ask about numeric ranking.
Source: DZ

Example: cs: "kolikátý" ("which", "of what rank") Interrogative usage: "Kolikátý den v týdnu je pondělí? První." = lit. "Which day in week is Monday? First." = "Which day of the week is Monday? The first one." Relative usage: "To číslo udává, na kolikátém kilometru dálnice se sjezd nachází." = lit. "The number indicates, on which kilometer of-freeway itself exit finds." = "The number indicates on which kilometer of the freeway is the exit."

Identifier: multiplicativeNumeral   Type: simple   Origin: Prague Dependency Treebank   Profiles: Private, Morphosyntax

Is a: numeral

Definition: A word that expresses the number of times something happened.
Source: DZ

Example: cs: "dvakrát" ("twice"), "pětkrát" ("five times"), "třistapětadevadesátkrát" ("three hundred ninety-five times")
Source: DZ

Explanation: Multiplicative numerals behave syntactically like adverbs. They modify verbs ("Řádný muslim se modlí pětkrát denně." = "A good Moslem prays five times a day.") or adjectives ("Byl třikrát ženatý." = lit. "He-was three-times married.")
Source: DZ

Note: The CoNLL 2006 Czech treebank, derived from the PDT 1.0, includes here also numerals "poprvé" ("for the first time") and "podruhé" ("the second time"). These numerals are semantically different from multiplicative numerals, although they share their adverbial syntactic behavior. They would be better described as adverbial ordinal numerals.
