Unlike English, Catalan uses the indefinite article with plural nouns as well as singular nouns.
Catalan cardinal numbers may be used as masculine or feminine adjectives, exceptun/una(“1”),dos/dues(“2”),cents/centes(“100s”) and its compounds. When used as nouns, Catalan cardinal numbers are treated as masculine singular nouns in most contexts, but in expressions involving time such asla una i trenta (1:30) orles dues (two o'clock), they are feminine because the feminine nounhora has been elided.

As lenguas, idiomas, dialectus o falas tenin un-as funciós mui claras desde o principiu dos siglu i si hai contabilizaus en o mundu un-as 8.000 lenguas, ca un-a con sua importancia numérica relativa, a nossa fala éun tesoiru mais entre elas.
The tongues, languages or regional variants have some very clear functions since the beginning of the centuries and some 8,000 languages have been accounted for in the world, each with its relative numerical importance, our Fala isanother treasure among them.
When used as a noun, it is treated as aspirated (no liaison with that which precedes). Sometimes the same is true of the numeral (see below and compareonze). When used as an article or pronoun, liaison does apply normally.
The numeral is treated as aspirated in calculating and stating values:soustraire deux de un(“to subtract two from one”),une moyenne de un(“an average of one”). Also in dates, though this is considered nonstandard:le un mars forle premier mars(“March 1st”). Otherwise it is unaspirated.
Whereas in English thesingular is used only after the numberone, in French it is typically used after numberssmaller thantwo. This means that bothzéro andun are generally used with the singular, even when they are followed by adecimal part.

Future is expressed with a present-tense verb with a completion-marking prefix and/or a time adverb, or—more explicitly—with the infinitive plus the conjugated auxiliary verbfog, e.g.unni fog.
The archaic passive conjugation had the same-(t)at/-(t)et suffix as the causative, followed by-ik in the 3rd-person singular (and the concomitant changes in conditional and subjunctive mostly in the 1st- and 3rd-person singular like with other traditional-ik verbs).

Borrowed fromMiddle Low Germanun(“and”). It replaced, in this sense, the particleir (compareLithuanianir, which still has the sense of “and”). Variants wereund,unde andind,in (these latter may have been influenced byir, butind also existed in Middle Low German). From the 18th century on, the formun gradually became dominant.[1]
