Numbers don't change for gender or case (mostly)
German
eins, zwei, drei...
Hindi
एक, दो, तीन...
Unlike German nouns and articles, the numbers 2–12 don't change based on the gender or case of what's being counted — a rare easy corner of German grammar. The exception is eins ("one"), which behaves like ein/eine (the indefinite article) and changes with gender and case — similar to how Hindi's एक doesn't change form itself, but you always have to keep the gender of the following noun in mind: ein Mann, eine Frau, ein Kind — "one man/woman/child."
