Numbers

In Hebrew, numbers have their own gender. For example, in the expression ''two boys'' (shney yeladim), the number two is different than in ''two girls'' (shtey yeladot).
The number one e7ad or a7at is always placed after the noun it qualifies (one student - talmid e7ad) and the number shnayim or shtayim becomes shney or shtey before the noun it modifies. ( Numbers II )

Masculine: 


Zero (efes) - אֶפֶס

One (e7ad) - אֶחַד

Two (shnayim) - שְׁנַיִם

Three (shlosha) - שְׁלוֹשָׁה

  Four (arba3a) - אַרְבָּעָה

 Five (7amisha) - חֲמִשָׁה

 Six (shisha) - שִׁשָּׁה

Seven (shiv3a) - שִׁבְעַה

Eight (shmona) - שְׁמוֹנָה

 Nine (tish3a) - תִּשְׁעָה

 Ten (3asara) - עֲשָׂרָה


Feminine:

Zero (efes) - אֶפֶס

One (a7at) - אַחַת

Two (shtayim) - שְׁתַּיִם

Three (shalosh) - שָׁלוֹשׁ

Four (arba3) - אַרְבַּע

Five (7amesh) - חָמֵשׁ

Six (shesh) - שֵׁשׁ

Seven (sheva3) - שֶׁבַע


Eight (shmone) - שְׁמוֹנֶה

Nine (tesha3)  - תֵּשַׁע


Ten (3eser) - עֶשֶׂר

In proper Hebrew the feminine form of the number “four” is arba3, but most Israelis say arba3. The same happens to the number “eight”(feminine) : it's shmone, but most Israelis say shmone.
