20th of August, 1911. EXCEPTION: El primero, as-- El 1 deg. (primero) de Septiembre (1st September). Numbers following names of kings, etc., are ordinal up to the tenth; then generally cardinal, as-- Felipe II. (segundo): Philip II. Alfonso XIII. (trece): Alphonso XIII. Fractional numbers up to 1/10th are the same as ordinal numbers, except-- (Un) medio: one half. Un tercio (_not_ tercero): one-third. From 1/11th upwards, fractions are formed from cardinal numbers adding to them the termination =avo=, as-- Un dieciseisavo[65]: 1/16. _Un_ need not be used before the fractions 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4, preceded by an integer, as-- Uno y cuarto: One and a quarter. Cuatro y tercio: Four and a third. La mitad: The half. La tercera parte: The 3rd part. La cuarta parte: The 4th part. La duodecima parte: The 12th part. [Footnote 65: If the cardinal number ends in a vowel, this is elided, as veinte--un veintavo (1/20th). If it ends in _ce_ the _c_ is changed into _z_ as, doce--un dozavo (1/12th).] Collective Numbers. Un par: A pair. Una treintena: A set of 30.[66] Una decena (half a score).[66] Una centena: A set of 100.[66] Una docena (a dozen).[66] Un centenar: A set of 100.[66] Una veintena: A score.[66] Un ciento: A set of 100.[66] Un millar: A set of 1,000.[66] [Footnote 66: Also the number approximately, as: Una treintena de libros: (about 30 books).] _Subjunctive Mood,[67] Present Tense_. +---------------------+--------------------+----------------------+ | =Hablar=. | =Temer=. | =Partir=. | +---------------------+--------------------+----------------------+ |Que yo hable (That I |Que tema (that I may|Que parta (that I may | | may or shall | or shall fear).| or shall depart).| | speak). | | | | " tu hables | " temas | " partas | | " el hable | " tema | " parta | | " nosotros hablemos| " temamos | " partamos | | " vosotros hableis | " temais | " partais | | " ellos hablen | " teman | " partan | +---------------------+--------------------+----------------------+ [Footnote 67: This tense is formed from the first person singular of the present indicative by changing the last vowel into =e= for the 1
