According to the structure numerals are classified into simple and
composite. These numerals are grouped into
integral ( whole-butun) numerals: one, two, ten, twenty-five, seventeen - bir, besh, o’n besh,
yigirma besh,
fractional numerals( one third, two fifth - ikkidan bir,
beshdan ikki) and
mixed numerals ( one and a half - bir yarim, ikki
butun o’ndan uch).

dona is used instead of adding the affix –

cardinal numerals: fifth, second, third. Some of English ordinal
