In this week, we are going to summarize all possible ways of expressing quantity used in medical terminology, i.e.:

a) ordinal numbers: you should already be familiar with these from 1 up to 12 and be able to use thes ein a sentence

b) multiple numbers: you should already be aware of the terms ending in -plex and how to use these in a sentence

c) numeral adverbs: you should be familiar with the fact that these are not declined and know the following: semel, bis, ter, quater

d) numeral components in compound terms: you should become familiar with basic Latin and Greek roots used to denote quantity and be aware of Latin and Greek equivalents with the same meaning, e.g. multi- = poly-, semi- = hemi- etc.

See the section 4.1 of BMT II_handouts and make sure you can explain all the terms given in the example part of the table in section e)
