Cardinal numbers are essential for communication, whether you need to tell time, give your phone number, or ask about the price of an item. In this lesson, you will learn the cardinal numbers in Cebuano from one to one hundred, and practice counting and using numbers in sentences.
Vocabulary
Here are the cardinal numbers in Cebuano from one to ten:
Cebuano | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
usa | ooh-sah | one |
duha | dooh-ha | two |
tulo | too-loh | three |
upat | oo-paht | four |
lima | lee-mah | five |
unum | oo-noom | six |
pito | pee-toh | seven |
walo | wah-loh | eight |
siyam | see-yahm | nine |
napulo | nah-poo-loh | ten |
Note that the pronunciation guide is only an approximation, and there may be regional variations in pronunciation.
Here are the cardinal numbers in Cebuano from eleven to twenty, which are formed by combining the numbers for ten and one to nine:
Cebuano | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
napulo'g usa | nah-poo-loh(g) ooh-sah | eleven |
napulo'g duha | nah-poo-loh(g) dooh-ha | twelve |
napulo'g tulo | nah-poo-loh(g) too-loh | thirteen |
napulo'g upat | nah-poo-loh(g) oo-paht | fourteen |
napulo'g lima | nah-poo-loh(g) lee-mah | fifteen |
napulo'g unum | nah-poo-loh(g) oo-noom | sixteen |
napulo'g pito | nah-poo-loh(g) pee-toh | seventeen |
napulo'g walo | nah-poo-loh(g) wah-loh | eighteen |
napulo'g siyam | nah-poo-loh(g) see-yahm | nineteen |
kawhaan | kah-wah-hahn | twenty |
To form the multiples of ten, simply add the number for ten (napulo) after the multiple:
Cebuano | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
taynte | tahynteh | thirty |
kwarenta | kwah-ren-tah | forty |
singkwenta | sing-kwen-tah | fifty |
siyamnapulo | see-yahm-nah-poo-loh | sixty |
pito'napulo | pee-toh-nah-poo-loh | seventy |
walumpulo | wah-loom-poo-loh | eighty |
siyam'napulo | see-yahm-nah-poo-loh | ninety |
usa ka gatus | oo-sah kah gah-toos | one hundred |
Note that in Cebuano, the word for "and" is not used when saying numbers. For example, 82 would be pronounced "walumpulo ug duha," literally meaning "eighty two."
Examples
Here are some examples of how to use cardinal numbers in sentences:
- Usa ka ligid. (One wheel.)
- Upat ka prutas. (Four fruits.)
- Napulo'g lima ka tawo. (Fifteen people.)
