Mando'a lesson 1

Numbers

Su cuy'gar! Olarom anade.

(Hello, welcome all)

Today's lesson is on basic counting!

This will cover numbers 1-10.

·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙

English || Mando'a || pronunciation

One || Solus || SOH-loos

Two || T'ad || Tahd

Three || Ehn || ayhn

Four || Cuir || COO-eer

Five || Rayshe'a || ray-SHEE-ah

Six || Resol || reh-SOL

Seven || e'tad || EH-tad

Eight || sh'ehn || Shayn

Nine || She'cu || SHAY-koo

Ten || ta'raysh || ta-RAYSH

·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙·̩̩̥͙＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙

Now that you know the basic numbers, there is something i'd like to talk about.

Zero.

You see, zero might be a little confusing for beginners. Zero would be said as 'Naas' (Pronounced: Nahs,) Which In Mando'a it translates directly to 'nothing'

whereas things such as t'ad directly translate to the number 2 and nothing else. So don't get confused over it.

That's all for today, Ke hukaati gar shebs, ner habire!

(Take care, my students. )
