數字前綴

从数字或其他数字派生的前缀

數字前綴 (英語:Numeral prefix) 是派生於數詞或其他數字前綴。在英語和其他歐洲語言,這些前綴用來造一系列包含表示數量信息的詞。

例子

數字前綴有拉丁語希臘語梵語三種,但主要使用前兩者。

具體例子如下:

英語中的數字前綴表

希臘語及拉丁語中,數分四種:

  • 基數(英語:cardinal):如英語中的one、two、three、four、five等
  • 次數(英語:multiplemultiplier):once、twice、thrice等
  • 分配數(英語:distributive):漢語中的「各~個」。原本指意味着one each、two each,但在現代常常會失去這個意思。
  • 序數 (英語:ordinal):漢語中的「第~個」,如英語的first、second、third、fourth、fifth等。也兼備分數,表示「N分之一」,但1/2有特殊形式。

對於百位數,有來自拉丁語的 -gent-,以及加上為1–9的前綴的 -cent- 兩種。

補充

  • 元音脫落:數字前綴結尾的元音會在以元音為開頭的詞幹前脫落。但除了 bi-, 其在元音前為 bis-, 而其他單音節前綴 du-、di-、dvi-、tri- 即使接以元音為開頭的詞幹也保持不變。
  • 連字符:數字前綴不加入連字符的情況比較多、但還是有把quarterdeck寫成quarter-deck的例外。在IUPAC命名法國際單位制詞頭中不會加入連字符。

同樣的後綴可用於不同數:

primary secondary tertiary quartary quintary sextary (septimary) (octavary) nonary (decimary)
singulary binary ternary, trinary quaternary quinary senary septenary octonary nonenary denary

化學命名中,11(undeca-)這個前綴混合了拉丁語和希臘語,並以 -cos- 表示二十,例如 tricos- 是 23。同樣,表示進位制binary, trinary, senaryoctal, decimal, vigesimal
