The numeral and the adjective  can only stand adjectively, before a noun (e.g.  and ). If they were to occur on their own (possibly also inflected), predicatively, or in reference to a whole noun phrase, the terms ' and ' must be used instead:, The same applies to compound numerals like  and. In terms of distribution, and  are like English  ( ~ ) while  and  resemble  ( ~ ). The longer forms are definitely broader in use as they may also occur adjectively, whether for emphasis or as a form of colloquialism. As a rule of thumb, the short variants never stand on their own.
