Numbers following the names of kings and queens are ordinal from first to tenth, and cardinal above that, e.g., Isabel Segunda (2.a), Eduardo Terceiro (3.o), Louis Quatorze (14), Afonso Treze (13), etc.

Fractional numbers from 11th and above are all equivalent to the ordinal numbers.

A collective number refers to a set or group of items. Examples include:

um para pair, a couple
uma dúziaa dozen
uma centenaa set of 100, around 100
