I think English language has eaten deep into our culture, I was with some friends yesterday, about nine of us were speaking a different dialect, every one was claiming that his local dialect is easier to understand, before I knew it questions were flying any how, some one told the other since his dialect is so simple that he should count from one to a thousand, ma guy no fit reach twenty , even the dude that ask the question couldn't count to fifty at the end of the day few persons barely got to hundred. I know some people can run their mouth from now till tomorrow in their local dialect, the big question is can you count to one thousand ? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Lacomus: Oya start nw 1 to 100, that's pretty easy. Know your basic 1 to 10 in Igbo, the remaining numeric system is a simple combination of 1 to 10. I'll count in central Igbo for the sake of convenience. 1 - otu 2 - abuo 3 - ato 4 - ano 5 - ise 6 - isi 7 - asaa 8 - asato 9 - itenaani 10 - iri 11 - iri na otu(10 and 1) 12 - iri na abuo(10 and 2) 13 - iri na ato(10 and 3) . . . 20 - iri abuo(two 10s, ie 20) 21 - iri abuo na otu(20 and 1) 22 - iri abuo na abuo(20 and 2) . . . 30 - iri ato(three 10s, i.e 30) 31 - iri ato na otu(30 and 1) . . . 39 - iri ato na itenaani(30 and 9) 40 - iri ano . . . 45 - iri ano na ise(40 and 5) 46 - iri ano na isii(40 and 6) . . . 50 - iri ise(five 10s) . . . 57 - iri ise na asaa(50 and 7) 58 - iri ise na asato(50 and 8.) . . . 60 - iri isii(six 10s) . . . 70 - iri asaa(seven 10s) . . . 80 - iri asato(eight 10s) . . . 90 - iri itenaani(nine 10s) . . . 100 - otu nari(one hundred) 101 - otu nari na otu(one hundred and one) 102 - otu nari na abuo 103 - otu nari na ato . . . 110 - otu nari na iri(one hundred and ten) . . . 119 - otu nari, iri na itenaani(one hundred and nineteen) 120 - otu nari na iri abuo(one hundred and twenty) . . . 150 - otu nari na iri ise(one hundred and fifty) 160 - otu nari na iri isii(one hundred and sixty) . . . 190 - otu nari na iri itenaani(one hundred and ninety) . . . 200 - nari abuo(two hundred) 201 - nari abuo na otu(two hundred and one) 202 - nari abuo na abuo(two hundred and two) . . . 210 - nari abuo na iri(two hunred and ten) . . . 235 - nari abuo, iri ato na ise . . . 268 - nari abuo, iri isii na asato(two hundred and sixty eight) . . . 297 - nari abuo, iri itenaani na asaa . . . 300 - nari ato . . . 400 - nari ano . . . 500 - nari ise . . . 600 - nari isii . . . 700 - nari asaa . . . 800 - nari asato . . . 900 - nari itenaani . . . 1000 - otu puku(one thousand) 1001 - otu puku na otu(one thousand and one) 1010 - otu puku na iri(one thousand and ten) . . . 1387 - otu puku(1000), nari ato(300), iri asato(80) na asaa(7) . . . 1999 - otu puku(1000), nari itenaani(900), iri itenaani(90) na itenaani(9) 2000 - puku abuo 3000 - puku ato 4000 - puku ano 5000 - puku ise 6000 - puku isii 7000 - puku asaa 8000 - puku asato 9000 - puku itenaani 10,000 - puku iri(ten thousand) 10,006 - puku iri na isii 20,000 - puku iri abuo 30,000 - puku iri ato . . . 100,000 - puku nari(hundred thousand) 100,010 - puku nari na iri . . . 1,000,000 - otu nde(one million) I went beyond 1,000 to 100,000 and to 1 million. 86 Likes 9 Shares |
