Master Hungarian Numbers

Hungarian, a Uralic language unrelated to its Indo-European neighbors, has a logical and recursive decimal number system. As an agglutinative language, Hungarian builds words by attaching suffixes — ordinals are formed by adding -dik to the cardinal, and vowel harmony determines the exact suffix form. Numbers also have special people-counting forms (like négyen for "four people") used when counting groups.
