== Introduction to Numbers 1-10 ==
 
Let's start our adventure by learning how to count from one to ten in Kinyarwanda. Here’s the list of numbers you will learn:

|-
|-

|-
|-
| Karindwi na kane || Kah-rin-dwee nah kah-neh || Ten
 
| icumi || /i.'cu.mi/ || ten
 
|}
|}


Now, let's practice by counting from 1 to 10 together:
As you can see, Kinyarwanda numbers have distinct pronunciations that may seem foreign at first. However, with practice, you'll become familiar with them.
 
=== Examples of Numbers in Context ===
 
To help you understand how these numbers are used in everyday conversation, let’s look at some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"


* Imwe (One)
! Kinyarwanda !! Pronunciation !! English
* Kabiri (Two)
* Gatatu (Three)
* Kane (Four)
* Gatanu (Five)
* Gatandatu (Six)
* Karindwi (Seven)
* Karindwi na kabiri (Eight)
* Karindwi na gatatu (Nine)
* Karindwi na kane (Ten)


Well done! You have successfully learned how to count from 1 to 10 in Kinyarwanda. Now, let's move on to forming numbers 11-20.
|-


=== Forming Numbers 11-20 ===
| Ndagura umunani. || /n.da.'gu.ra u.mu.'na.ni/ || I am buying one.
Forming numbers 11-20 in Kinyarwanda is relatively straightforward. To form these numbers, we simply combine the word for the corresponding tens place with the word for the ones place. Let's take a closer look at the numbers 11-20:
 
|-
 
| Mfite kabiri. || /m.'fi.te ka.'biri/ || I have two.
 
|-
 
| Bafite gatatu. || /ba.'fi.te ga.'ta.tu/ || They have three.
 
|-
 
| Nshaka kane. || /n.'sha.ka ka.'ne/ || I want four.
 
|-
 
| Ndakora gatanu. || /n.da.'ko.ra ga.'ta.nu/ || I work five.
 
|-
 
| Ndagiye gatandatu. || /n.da.'gi.ye ga.'tan.da.tu/ || I will leave at six.
 
|-
 
| Mfite karindwi. || /m.'fi.te ka.'rin.dwi/ || I have seven.
 
|-
 
| Ndagura umunani. || /n.da.'gu.ra u.mu.'na.ni/ || I am buying eight.
 
|-
 
| Mfite icyenda. || /m.'fi.te i.'cye.n.da/ || I have nine.
 
|-
 
| Ndakora icumi. || /n.da.'ko.ra i.'cu.mi/ || I work ten.
 
|}
 
By practicing these sentences, you will not only learn the numbers but also how to construct simple sentences in Kinyarwanda.
 
== Formation of Numbers 11-20 ==
 
Once you have mastered numbers 1-10, the next step is to learn how to form numbers 11 to 20. The pattern is relatively straightforward in Kinyarwanda. Here’s how it works:
 
* For numbers 11 to 19, you combine the word for ten (icumi) with the unit number.
 
* For example, 11 is "icumi na kimwe" (ten and one), and 12 is "icumi na kabiri" (ten and two), continuing in this pattern up to 19.
 
To illustrate this, let's look at the numbers:

|-
| Karindwi na rimwe || Kah-rin-dwee nah reem-weh || Eleven
