As you see on the table above Russian Cardinal numbers are very easy to form, for example the numbers 11-19 are simply formed by adding “надцать” to the numbers 1-9. (one small exception is number 14 where you need to drop the ending “е” in “4 четыре”),
The Russian numbers 21-99 are formed by placing numbers from (1-9) after (20-30-40-50…90), note that they’re not connected.
Now you can form some Russian numbers easily, example: (двести шестьдесят семь 267).
Zero is ноль (nol), a billion is миллиард (milliard)
Russian Ordinal Numbers
Ordinal numbers decline just like adjectives, and therefore must agree in gender and number, as well as case with the noun they describe. Russian ordinal numbers are formed from cardinal numbers, and they have some additional endings like (-ый, -ой, -ая, -ое, -ые), see the table below:
