Often, while writing the text, we have a question how this or that word is written. One of the complex, at first glance, words are eleven, so how to write this word correctly?
To answer this question and accurately write this complex quantitative numeral, you need to understand the composition of the word.
How is it spelled correctly - eleven, one -tan or eleven?
- The root here will be “one”, and “gnaws” acts as suffix. There is another morphological interpretation: “one” is the root of the zero order, and the “diet” is the root of the first order. They are connected by Interfix, or, in other words, connecting the two morphemes of the phoneme, not carrying semantic load. The stress always falls on the first syllable - "eleven".
- If you delve into the etymology of the word, then it means a number that exceeds the number of ten per unit. Literally: “One - on - ten”, or, “on top - ten”.
- By the way, all other numbers that relate to the second order: “Two - ten”, “three - on - ten”, etc. And the answer to the question of why exactly ten is taken as the basis, again will be an excursion into history. The vast majority of the population considered in the ancient centuries mainly on fingers, which, as you know, ten. Hence the score based on dozens.
- Gradually, the words merged into a single concept, pronounced and writing together, and “prostrate” for the convenience of pronunciation replaced the word “ten” phonetically. Such the meaning of the word suggests that the letter "H" ends the root, and the suffix begins. Both morphemes are joined in the same letters, thereby creating their doubling.
- Consequently, the option of writing the word “eleven” is possible only one - with a double consonant “n”: eleven. This rule applies to both the verbal name of the number and the designation of the number of calculated units equal to eleven. Writing the double letter “H” is preserved in all cases in which the word is used, as well as when using the corresponding serial numeral “eleventh”.
There are no exceptions from the spelling rule of this number, and it is unacceptable to write with one “n” - “eleven” under any circumstances.
Examples of using the word "eleven" in sentences:
- At yesterday's party, thirteen girls and only eleven guys gathered.
- Where did eleven drawings from the album go?
- She is only eleven years old, but she dances excellent!
