For numbers 20 up to 99, the format follows a general format: ''tens-digit number + pu't + ones-digit number''. If the tens-digit number ends in a vowel, it is followed by an "m" before the ''pu''. If the vowel is "o", it is replaced by a "u" and followed by the "m". The ('t) following ''pu'' represents the word ''at'', meaning "and". So forty-seven is ''apatnapu't pito;'' sixty-six is ''animnapu't anim,'' but fifty-three is ''limampu't tatlo'' and eighty-one is ''walumpu't isa.'' If there is no ones digit, such as in fifty, no ('t) is added: thirty = ''tatlumpu.'' | For numbers 20 up to 99, the format follows a general format: ''tens-digit number + pu't + ones-digit number''.

20-99
For numbers 20 up to 99, the format follows a general format: tens-digit number + pu't + ones-digit number. If the tens-digit number ends in a vowel, it is followed by an "m" before the pu. If the vowel is "o", it is replaced by a "u" and followed by the "m". The ('t) following pu represents the word at, meaning "and". So forty-seven is apatnapu't pito; sixty-six is animnapu't anim, but fifty-three is limampu't tatlo and eighty-one is walumpu't isa. If there is no ones digit, such as in fifty, no ('t) is added: thirty = tatlumpu.
Example Numbers
- Tatlumpu't anim: Thirty-six
- Apatnapu't tatlo: Forty-three
- Limampu't dalawa: Fifty-two
- Pitompu: Seventy
- Siyamnapu't isa: Ninety-one
Example Phrases
- May apat na ahas akong nakita: I saw four snakes. (Lit. There four snakes I saw.)
- Labing-dalawa ang nasugatan ngayon: Twelve are currently injured. (Lit. Twelve the injured now.)
- Dalawampung guro ay nandito sa paaralan: Twenty teachers are here at school. Note the addition of "-ng" after the number, denoting its use as a counting adjective for guro, meaning "teacher".
- Apatnapu't-walong magsasaka ang nawala: Forty-eight farmers are missing.
