Nde in igbo

Igbo = puku nde

Mr Rector: Igbo = puku nde

Mr Rector: Igbo = puku nde

Puku is thousand,while Nde is million.

NRI PRIEST:

Puku is thousand,while Nde is million.

And Ijere is billion.

Still on Igbo , hundred =nari.
Lol

200 = otu akpa ego(very old Igbo)

1000 = akpa ego ise

10,000 = akpa ego iri ise

100,000 = akpa ego nari ise

1,000,000 = akpa ego puku ise

ACM10: 200 = otu akpa ego(very old Igbo)

1000 = akpa ego ise

10,000 = akpa ego iri ise

100,000 = akpa ego nari ise

1,000,000 = akpa ego puku ise

Wow; my mother used this term a lot. Nnu ego ili n'ego nabo=four hundred,two naira. Nnu ego ise= two hundred. I have never heard my mother use "puku","nari" nor "nde". Those are more like the modern invention.

You are right! Sort of mixed up in my head. My granny used the term "nnu" a lot. But I can't actually translate it to real figure. I'm so sure that N200 is "ofu akpa ego"

How do you guys say 'twenty'? I'm not referring to Central Igbo which I know is iri abuo.

Odenigbo Aroli: "Nnu" is forty. Nnu ego n'ego ili is fifty naira.

400. This is where traditional count stops, before million, billion etc. became recently introduced.

ChinenyeN:

Not quite; four hundred is "akpa ego n'abo.

I guess your traditional counting system differs from ours then, because nnu is four hundred.

Maybe,or you aren't accurate with the Ngwa counting system.

In an Onicha dictionary, 400 is nnụ (low tone on 'u')

Abagworo, you are right.

20 :ogu ego
40 :ogu ego n'abo
60 :ogu ego Ito. Etc

200:ofu Akpa ego.
100:okala Akpa ego

400:nnu ego
