It's worse in Polish, Russian and other Slavic languages.

In Polish there are separate forms for a noun with a numeral when:
  *  n == 1
  *  n%10 >= 2 && n%10 <= 4 && (n%100)/10 != 1
  *  otherwise

IIRC Russian distinguishes between:
  *  n%10 == 1              && (n%100)/10 != 1
  *  n%10 >= 2 && n%10 <= 4 && (n%100)/10 != 1
  *  otherwise
