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.
=== Importance of Cardinal Numbers ===
 
Cardinal numbers are the numbers we use for counting—think of them as the building blocks of numerical understanding. In Cebuano, mastering these numbers will not only help you communicate quantities but will also enhance your ability to engage in everyday conversations. Whether you're ordering food, asking for the price of items, or simply counting objects around you, knowing these numbers is crucial.
 
=== Cardinal Numbers from One to Ten ===
 
Let's start with the basics. Here’s a table that lists the cardinal numbers from one to ten in Cebuano.

=== Cardinal Numbers from Eighty-One to Ninety ===


Here are the cardinal numbers in Cebuano from eleven to twenty, which are formed by combining the numbers for ten and one to nine:
Let’s move on to the next set, numbers eighty-one to ninety:

|-
|-
| kawhaan || kah-wah-hahn || twenty
 
| ninety || /siyento/ || 90
 
|}
|}


To form the multiples of ten, simply add the number for ten (napulo) after the multiple:
=== Cardinal Numbers from Ninety-One to One Hundred ===
 
Finally, let’s conclude our journey through the cardinal numbers with ninety-one to one hundred:


{| class="wikitable"

|-

| ninety-one || /siyento uno/ || 91

| ninety-two || /siyento dos/ || 92
 
|-
|-
| singkwenta || sing-kwen-tah || fifty
 
| ninety-three || /siyento tres/ || 93
 
|-
|-
| siyamnapulo || see-yahm-nah-poo-loh || sixty
 
| ninety-four || /siyento kwatro/ || 94
 
|-
|-
| pito'napulo || pee-toh-nah-poo-loh || seventy
 
| ninety-five || /siyento lima/ || 95
 
|-
|-
| walumpulo || wah-loom-poo-loh || eighty
 
| ninety-six || /siyento unom/ || 96
 
|-
|-
| siyam'napulo || see-yahm-nah-poo-loh || ninety
 
| ninety-seven || /siyento pito/ || 97
 
|-
|-
| usa ka gatus || oo-sah kah gah-toos || one hundred
 
| ninety-eight || /siyento walo/ || 98
 
|-
 
| ninety-nine || /siyento siyam/ || 99
 
|-
 
| one hundred || /usa ka gatus/ || 100
 
|}
|}


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."
=== Using Cardinal Numbers in Sentences ===
 
Mastering the numbers is one thing, but knowing how to use them in sentences is equally important. Here are some examples:
 
1. '''I have three apples.''' 
 
''May tulo akong mansanas.'' 
 
2. '''There are five people in my family.''' 
 
''Ado'y lima ka tawo sa akong pamilya.'' 
 
3. '''I need two tickets for the concert.''' 
 
''Kinahanglan ko og duha ka tiket para sa konsiyerto.'' 
 
4. '''He is seven years old.''' 
 
''Siyam siya ka tuig.'' 
 
5. '''We bought ten kilos of rice.''' 
 
''Namalit mi og napulo ka kilo nga bugas.'' 
 
6. '''She has twenty books.''' 
 
''Ado'y bente ka libro siya.'' 
 
7. '''I saw eight birds in the tree.''' 
 
''Nakita ko ang walo ka mga langgam sa kahoy.''

These sentences illustrate how cardinal numbers can be integrated into everyday conversation.

Welcome to our lesson on Cebuano Cardinal Numbers! In this lesson, we will dive into the fascinating world of numbers in the Cebuano language, covering the basics from one to one hundred. Understanding cardinal numbers is essential for any language learner as they form the foundation for counting, telling time, and even shopping—think of all the times you need to know how much something costs or how old someone is!

We'll explore the numbers in detail, provide you with practical examples, and offer exercises to help reinforce your learning. By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to count confidently in Cebuano and use numbers in various contexts.

So, let's get started!

Importance of Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Cardinal numbers are the numbers we use for counting—think of them as the building blocks of numerical understanding. In Cebuano, mastering these numbers will not only help you communicate quantities but will also enhance your ability to engage in everyday conversations. Whether you're ordering food, asking for the price of items, or simply counting objects around you, knowing these numbers is crucial.

Cardinal Numbers from One to Ten[edit | edit source]

Let's start with the basics. Here’s a table that lists the cardinal numbers from one to ten in Cebuano.

Next, let’s expand our knowledge to numbers eleven through twenty. Here’s how they look in Cebuano:
