The Lao number system is based on the decimal system, like most other number systems in the world. However, the way the numbers are named is slightly different from other languages. The Lao numbers one to five have unique names, while the numbers six to nine are formed by adding a prefix to the number five. The number ten is named after the Lao word for fingers.
So, let's dive in and start counting in Lao!


Here are the numbers one to ten in Lao:

It is important to note that the pronunciation of Lao numbers is tricky. Some Lao numbers may sound similar to English speakers, but others are entirely different. It is essential to practice speaking and listening to numbers to master the correct pronunciation.

== Using Lao Numbers in Sentences ==
* ຂໍໄອ່ວຽກແຕ່ລະເດືອນລະດັບສິບ. (kʰɔ̌ː ai ūa ˈtae lʰa dʊ̄a n lʰa dɑ̄p sà.)


Now that you know how to count from one to ten let's learn how to use them in simple sentences.  
* Translation: I want to buy ten books.


To say your age, you often use the verb "ເກມ (khem)" which means "to have age." Here's an example of how to say, "I am six years old" in Lao:
=== Using Numbers in Context ===


"ຂ້ອຍເກມແຕ່ວັນທີ່ ຫ້າສີ່ (khoy khem tai wan thi haa si)
Understanding the numbers is just the first step; knowing how to use them is even more critical! Here are some contexts in which you can use these numbers:


Let's break it down:
1. '''Shopping'''


- ຂ້ອຍ (khoy) means "I"
* You can use numbers to specify quantities when shopping. For example, when you want to buy fruits or vegetables, you might say, "I want '''three''' bananas."
- ເກມ (khem) means "to have age"
- ແຕ່ວັນທີ່ (tai wan thi) means "years old"
- ຫ້າສີ່ (ha si) means "six"


So, "ຂ້ອຍເກມແຕ່ວັນທີ່ ຫ້າສີ່" translates to "I have six years old."
2. '''Ordering Food'''


In Lao, the word order of sentences is usually subject-verb-object (SVO), unlike English, which is usually subject-object-verb (SOV). So, the sentence structure of Lao could be different from other languages.
* When dining in a restaurant, you might say, "I would like to order '''two''' dishes."


Here's another example of how to use Lao numbers in sentences:
3. '''Asking for Directions'''


"ເກມຂ້າພະແນງ ຫ້າສາມ" (khem kha pa nang ha saam)
* You can ask how many minutes it takes to reach a place: "How far is it? '''Five''' minutes?"


It means "Grandfather is 3 years old."
4. '''Counting People'''


- ເກມ (khem) means "to have age"
* When meeting someone, you might want to know how many people are in a group: "How many people are there? '''Seven'''."
- ຂ້າພະແນງ (kha pa nang) means "grandfather"
- ຫ້າສາມ (ha sam) means "three"


Let's learn some useful Lao phrases that include numbers.
5. '''Days of the Week'''


- "ຂ້ອຍຈົດຫມາຍທີ່ໜຶ່ງ" (khoy chot mai tai noong) means "I brush my teeth once a day."
* You can use numbers to ask about the days: "What day is the '''third'''?"
- "ບ້ານນ້ຳຜົນໃສ່ພະຍາງສອງຄົງທາ" (baan num phon sai pa yang song khong tha) means "The village is two kilometers away."
- "ຂ້ອຍມືເຮັດກີລີສີ່" (khoy mi het ki li si) means "I have finished eating four rice dishes."


== Fun Facts about Lao ==
=== Practice Exercises ===


- The Lao language uses Sanskrit-based numbers, which are also found in Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand.
Now that we've gone through the numbers and examples, it's time to put your knowledge to the test. Below are some exercises to help reinforce what you've learned.
- The Lao language does not have a grammatical gender system.
- The Lao language has six tones, which can change the meaning of a word.  
- Lao is the official language of Laos and Northeast Thailand, where it is also spoken.
- Lao has been written in the Lao script, a descendant of the ancient Khmer script, since the 14th century.
