Collective numbers – Today’s French
Les nombres collectifs – Le français d’aujourd’hui
What are collective numbers in French? How do they work?
What are collective numbers? – C’est quoi, les nombres collectifs ?
Collective numbers are numbers used
- to describe a whole group of items: une quinzaine d’amis – a group of about 15 friends
- when dealing with an approximate number – higher than 7 – of items: une cinquantaine de crayons – about 50 pencils
- when it’s a pack of items: une douzaine d’œufs – a dozen eggs.
Practice – Exercice
Translate the sentences from one column to another. From French to English (la version) is easier, from English to French (la thèse) a bit more challenging.
Traduisez les phrases d’une colonne à une autre. Du français en anglais (la version) est plus facile, de l’anglais au français (la thèse) un peu plus difficile.
Français
- Et avec ça, je voudrais une douzaine d’œufs. Merci.

- Nous avons deux centenaires dans notre établissement.

- And with this, I’d like to get a dozen of eggs.
