There's a great similarity between the numbers 1 till 20 in both English and Dutch. But where one in English would say: "twenty one", one would say in Dutch: "one and twenty". Thus be aware of the opposite number system in Dutch when translating a number into English; to avoid that one would translate "vijfenveertig" as: "fifty four", because it should be translated as: "forty five".
The ordinals in Dutch are quite simple. All numbers from 1 till 19, if written out, should end in '-de' except for 'eerste' (first) and 'achtste' (eighth). From 20 all numbers end in '-ste' if they're written out, no exceptions. Ordinals written with cyphers should end with the letter 'e' to indicate it's an ordinal. Thus 21st = 21e, 33rd = 33e, 77th = 77e, etc.
