In Lingala, numbers are divided into two classes: lower numbers and higher numbers. In this lesson, we will focus on lower numbers from 1 to 10.
Lingala uses a decimal system, similar to English, to express numbers. The numbers from 1 to 10 in Lingala are:

When counting from 1 to 10, we can use the word "na" to join two consecutive numbers. For example, "moja na mbili" means "one and two."
Now, let's look at each number in more detail:
 
=== Moja ===
 
The number "moja" means "one" in Lingala. It is pronounced as "moh-jah." This number is used to count objects or express the quantity of something. Here are a few examples:
 
* Nalala na nkisi moja. (I have one cat.)
* Nalala na nkisi mbili. (I have two cats.)
 
=== Mbili ===
 
The number "mbili" means "two" in Lingala. It is pronounced as "mm-bee-lee." This number is used to count objects or express the quantity of something. Here are a few examples:
 
* Nalala na nkisi mbili. (I have two cats.)
* Nalala na nkisi tatu. (I have three cats.)
 
=== Tatu ===
 
The number "tatu" means "three" in Lingala. It is pronounced as "tah-too." This number is used to count objects or express the quantity of something. Here are a few examples:
 
* Nalala na nkisi tatu. (I have three cats.)
* Nalala na nkisi ine. (I have four cats.)
 
=== Ine ===
 
The number "ine" means "four" in Lingala. It is pronounced as "ee-neh." This number is used to count objects or express the quantity of something. Here are a few examples:
 
* Nalala na nkisi ine. (I have four cats.)
* Nalala na nkisi tano. (I have five cats.)
 
=== Tano ===
 
The number "tano" means "five" in Lingala. It is pronounced as "tah-noh." This number is used to count objects or express the quantity of something. Here are a few examples:

* Nalala na nkisi sita. (I have six cats.)
 
=== Sita ===
 
The number "sita" means "six" in Lingala. It is pronounced as "see-tah." This number is used to count objects or express the quantity of something. Here are a few examples:
 
* Nalala na nkisi sita. (I have six cats.)
* Nalala na nkisi saba. (I have seven cats.)
 
=== Saba ===
 
The number "saba" means "seven" in Lingala. It is pronounced as "sah-bah." This number is used to count objects or express the quantity of something. Here are a few examples:
 
* Nalala na nkisi saba. (I have seven cats.)
* Nalala na nkisi nane. (I have eight cats.)
 
=== Nane ===
 
The number "nane" means "eight" in Lingala. It is pronounced as "nah-neh." This number is used to count objects or express the quantity of something. Here are a few examples:

* Nalala na nkisi kumi. (I have ten cats.)


== Using Numbers in Sentences ==
=== Kumi ===


Now that we know how to count from 1 to 10 in Lingala, let's learn how to use them in sentences.
The number "kumi" means "ten" in Lingala. It is pronounced as "koo-mee." This number is used to count objects or express the quantity of something. Here are a few examples:


To ask someone's age in Lingala, you can say "Una miaka mingapi?" which means "How old are you?". To answer this question, we can use the following pattern: "Miaka yangu ni (number)", which means "My age is (number)". For example, "Miaka yangu ni sita" means "My age is six."
* Nalala na nkisi kumi. (I have ten cats.)
* Nalala na nkisi kumi na moja. (I have eleven cats.)


To ask for someone's phone number, we can say "Namba yako ya simu ni ipi?" which translates to "What is your phone number?". To answer this question, we start with the number "sifuri" which means "zero" in Lingala followed by the rest of the digits. For example, "Namba yangu ya simu ni sifuri nne tano saba tano saba tano tano tano" means "My phone number is zero four five seven five seven five five five."
== Cultural Insights ==


== Conclusion ==
In Lingala culture, numbers hold significant importance in various aspects of life. They are used in traditional ceremonies, storytelling, and even in everyday conversations. For example, the number "four" is associated with stability and balance in Lingala culture, as it is believed to represent the four cardinal directions. Similarly, the number "seven" is considered sacred and symbolizes completeness and spirituality.


Congratulations! You have learned how to count from 1 to 10 in Lingala and how to use them in sentences to ask someone's age and phone number. Keep practicing these numbers until you feel confident using them in conversation. In the next lesson, we will learn how to tell time in Lingala.  
Lingala numbers are also an integral part of music and dance traditions. In traditional Lingala music, rhythms are often based on specific number patterns, creating a unique and vibrant sound. Additionally, traditional Lingala dances often incorporate counting and rhythmic movements, adding a visual element to the significance of numbers.


== Practice Exercise ==
Now, let's practice using the numbers from 1 to 10 in Lingala sentences. Translate the following sentences from English to Lingala:
# I have two books.
# She has five siblings.
# We ate four bananas.
# They bought six tickets.
# He has nine pens.
'''Answers:'''
# Nalala na livres mbili.
# Azali na batu bato tano.
# Basengi mikate ine.
# Bayebi billets sita.
# Azali na stylos tisa.
== Conclusion ==
Congratulations! You have successfully learned the numbers from 1 to 10 in Lingala. Numbers play a crucial role in everyday communication, and now you can confidently use them to count, express quantities, and understand numerical information in Lingala. Keep practicing and incorporating these numbers into your language learning journey. In the next lesson, we will delve into telling time in Lingala. Bisó na bisó! (See you next time!)
