== Introduction ==
=== 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.

In this lesson, we will delve into the world of numbers and time in the Cebuano language. Numbers play a crucial role in our daily lives, whether it's counting objects, telling time, or expressing quantities. Understanding cardinal numbers is essential for effective communication and comprehension in Cebuano. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently count from one to one hundred and use numbers in various contexts. So, let's embark on this numerical adventure!
| eighty || /walo/ || 80


== Cardinal Numbers ==

Cardinal numbers are used to count and quantify objects, people, and concepts. They are the foundation of numerical expressions and are essential for everyday communication. In Cebuano, cardinal numbers are relatively straightforward to learn and follow a logical pattern. Let's explore the numbers from one to ten and their pronunciation:
=== Cardinal Numbers from Eighty-One to Ninety ===
 
Let’s move on to the next set, numbers eighty-one to ninety:

|}
|}


=== Counting from Eleven to Nineteen ===
=== 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"
 
! Cebuano !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| ninety-one || /siyento uno/ || 91
 
|-
 
| ninety-two || /siyento dos/ || 92
 
|-
 
| ninety-three || /siyento tres/ || 93
 
|-
 
| ninety-four || /siyento kwatro/ || 94
 
|-
 
| ninety-five || /siyento lima/ || 95
 
|-
 
| ninety-six || /siyento unom/ || 96
 
|-
 
| ninety-seven || /siyento pito/ || 97
 
|-
 
| ninety-eight || /siyento walo/ || 98


To express numbers from eleven to nineteen in Cebuano, we need to combine the words for the respective tens digit with the word "ka" before the word for the ones digit. This pattern is similar to the way numbers are formed in English, such as "thirteen" or "eighteen." Let's take a look at some examples:
|-


* labing usa (lah-bing oo-sa) - eleven
| ninety-nine || /siyento siyam/ || 99
* labing duha (lah-bing doo-ha) - twelve
* labing tulo (lah-bing too-lo) - thirteen
* labing upat (lah-bing oo-pat) - fourteen
* labing lima (lah-bing lee-ma) - fifteen
* labing unom (lah-bing oo-nom) - sixteen
* labing pito (lah-bing pee-to) - seventeen
* labing walo (lah-bing wah-lo) - eighteen
* labing siyam (lah-bing see-yam) - nineteen


=== Counting Tens ===
|-


In Cebuano, counting tens is relatively straightforward. We just need to combine the word for the tens digit with the word "ka" before it. Here are the tens numbers from twenty to one hundred:
| one hundred || /usa ka gatus/ || 100


* bente (ben-te) - twenty
|}
* tirty (teer-tee) - thirty
* kwarenta (kwa-ren-ta) - forty
* singkwenta (sing-kwen-ta) - fifty
* saisenta (sai-sen-ta) - sixty
* syenta (syen-ta) - seventy
* otsenta (ot-sen-ta) - eighty
* nubenta (noo-ben-ta) - ninety


=== Counting Hundreds ===
=== Using Cardinal Numbers in Sentences ===


To express numbers in the hundreds, we need to combine the word for the hundreds digit with the word "ka" before it. The pattern is similar to counting tens. Here are some examples:
Mastering the numbers is one thing, but knowing how to use them in sentences is equally important. Here are some examples:


* usa ka gatus (oo-sa ka ga-toos) - one hundred
1. '''I have three apples.''' 
* duha ka gatus (doo-ha ka ga-toos) - two hundred
* tulo ka gatus (too-lo ka ga-toos) - three hundred
* upat ka gatus (oo-pat ka ga-toos) - four hundred
* lima ka gatus (lee-ma ka ga-toos) - five hundred


We can continue this pattern for higher numbers as well. For example, to express six hundred, we would say "unom ka gatus" (oo-nom ka ga-toos).
''May tulo akong mansanas.'' 


=== Counting Thousands ===
2. '''There are five people in my family.''' 


To express numbers in the thousands, we use a similar pattern as with the hundreds and tens. We combine the word for the thousands digit with the word "ka" before it. Here are some examples:
''Ado'y lima ka tawo sa akong pamilya.'' 


* usa ka libo (oo-sa ka lee-boh) - one thousand
3. '''I need two tickets for the concert.''' 
* duha ka libo (doo-ha ka lee-boh) - two thousand
* tulo ka libo (too-lo ka lee-boh) - three thousand
* upat ka libo (oo-pat ka lee-boh) - four thousand
* lima ka libo (lee-ma ka lee-boh) - five thousand


We can continue this pattern for higher numbers as well. For example, to express six thousand, we would say "unom ka libo" (oo-nom ka lee-boh).
''Kinahanglan ko og duha ka tiket para sa konsiyerto.'' 


=== Counting Higher Numbers ===
4. '''He is seven years old.''' 


As we've seen, the pattern for counting higher numbers in Cebuano follows a logical structure. We simply combine the words for the respective digits with the word "ka" before them. Here are some examples of higher numbers:
''Siyam siya ka tuig.'' 


* napulo ka libo (nah-poo-lo ka lee-boh) - ten thousand
5. '''We bought ten kilos of rice.''' 
* usa ka gatus ka libo (oo-sa ka ga-toos ka lee-boh) - one hundred thousand
* usa ka milyon (oo-sa ka mee-lyon) - one million
* usa ka bilyon (oo-sa ka bee-lyon) - one billion
* usa ka trilyon (oo-sa ka tree-lyon) - one trillion


With this pattern in mind, you can confidently count and express higher numbers in Cebuano.
''Namalit mi og napulo ka kilo nga bugas.'' 


== Cultural Insights ==
6. '''She has twenty books.''' 


The usage and understanding of numbers can vary across different regions and cultures. In Cebuano culture, numbers hold significance in various aspects of life, including traditional customs, beliefs, and celebrations. Let's explore some interesting cultural insights related to numbers in Cebuano:
''Ado'y bente ka libro siya.'' 


=== Lucky and Unlucky Numbers ===
7. '''I saw eight birds in the tree.''' 


Like many cultures around the world, Cebuanos also associate certain numbers with luck or superstition. For example, the number seven (pito) is often considered lucky in Cebuano culture. It is believed to bring good fortune, prosperity, and blessings. On the other hand, the number thirteen (tulo ka libo) is often associated with bad luck. It is considered unlucky, and many people try to avoid activities or decisions related to this number.
''Nakita ko ang walo ka mga langgam sa kahoy.'' 


=== Numerical Symbolism in Festivals ===
8. '''There are twelve months in a year.''' 


Numbers also play a significant role in Cebuano festivals and celebrations. One notable example is the Sinulog Festival, which takes place in Cebu City every January. During the Sinulog Festival, participants and revelers perform a traditional dance to honor the Santo Niño (Child Jesus). The dance consists of a distinct number of steps and movements, symbolizing different aspects of Cebuano culture and devotion. The number of steps and movements is carefully choreographed and holds deep cultural and symbolic meaning.
''Ado'y dose ka bulan sa usa ka tuig.'' 


=== Numerical References in Folklore and Stories ===
9. '''They will arrive in five minutes.''' 


Cebuano folklore and stories often incorporate numerical references to convey moral lessons, cultural values, or historical events. These numerical references help enrich the storytelling experience and provide a deeper understanding of Cebuano traditions and beliefs. For example, a story may mention seven brothers or twelve princesses, each representing a specific virtue or lesson.
''Makaabot sila sa lima ka minuto.'' 


These cultural insights demonstrate the interplay between numbers, language, and culture in Cebuano society. By understanding the cultural significance of numbers, you can gain a deeper appreciation for the language and its rich heritage.
10. '''I need forty-three pesos.'''

''Kinahanglan ko og kwarant tres ka pesos.''
