      The Uzbek ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix -nchi (after vowels) or inchi (after consonants) to cardinal numbers:

      In Uzbek the denominator of a fraction always takes the ablative suffix while the numerator does not take any suffix:

      ikkidan bir one half
      to’rtdan uch three-fourths
      beshdan to’rt four fifths
      o’ndan to’qqiz nine tenths


      The decimals are expressed by the word butun (whole) followed by the denominator and the numerator:

      bir butun o’ndan to’qqiz one and nine tenths (1.9)
      ikki butun o’ndan besh two and five tenths (2.5)


      In spoken Uzbek the word butun frequently is omitted or replaced by -u or va, both meaning 'and':
