The building blocks

Why not always have the same shape?

Numbers sometimes adapt to the noun. You say ένας καφές, μία μπίρα, ένα νερό. When ordering, the male form is for example έναν καφέAlso 3, 4 and the hundreds are changing. Composite numbers keep these shapes.

τρεις καφέδες · three coffees
τρία νερά · three waters
τέσσερις μπίρες · four beers
τέσσερα άτομα · four persons

Alternatieven: επτά / εφτά, οκτώ / οχτώ, εννέα / εννιάHere we use one consistent basic variant. εκατό is in compositions εκατόνIPA is wide and editorially checked; natural speech has variants.
