The neuter form. "Ένας" (EH-nahs) is masculine and "μία" (MEE-ah) is feminine. Context usually makes the right form clear.
The "δ" is a soft "th" as in "the." Practice this one: it comes up constantly when ordering or buying.
Neuter form used for counting and most nouns. "Τρεις" (trees) is used with masculine and feminine nouns.
A four-syllable word. The stress on the first syllable helps keep it memorable.
Short and easy. Combine it with "ευρώ" to say five euros at a kiosk or market.
In speech often εφτά (ef-TAH).
In speech often οχτώ (okh-TOH).
In speech often εννιά (eh-NYAH).
Again, "δ" is a soft "th." A ten-euro note is called a "δεκάρικο" colloquially.
