Usage notes
- Kettő (as well as its compounds like tizenkettő (“12”)) is normally used on its own (as a number, in the predicate, or a short reference to a noun phrase with this quantity). It can also be used in an emphatic way before nouns.
- Két (as well as its compounds like tizenkét) can only stand before a noun (or an adjective and a noun) but never on its own.
Note that the same syntactic difference exists between kicsi and kis in Hungarian, both of which mean ’small’. Their distribution is comparable to that of sick and ill in English: they are ill (cf. kettő, kicsi, when used on their own) vs. sick people (cf. két, kis, i.e. used attributively (before a noun). As a rule of thumb, the shorter variants (két, kis) can never stand on their own.
