FAQs

What are some common pitfalls when converting numbers from Norwegian to Polish?

1. Compound Numbers: Be cautious with compound numbers (like 21, 22, etc.) because they often combine smaller numbers differently in each language.

2. Pronunciation Differences: Focus on pronunciation, as the phonetics can significantly differ even when numbers look the same.

3. Cardinal vs. Ordinal: Ensure you know whether the context requires cardinal (general counting) or ordinal (order) numbers. The structure may differ accordingly.

4. Cultural Context: Be aware of cultural nuances, especially in formal settings; numeral usage may vary (e.g., using a full word instead of a digit).

5. Counting in Groups: Remember that in Polish, numbers often group differently, and this can affect the pronunciation and expression of numbers.
