To count "how many", "{{w|cardinal numbers}}" are used. Use the colloquial system together with a [[lioxngsuu|classifier]] (the classifier will [[tone sandhi|change tone]] when spoken). For example: | To count "how many", "{{w|cardinal numbers}}" are used. Use the colloquial system together with a [[lioxngsuu|classifier]] (the classifier will [[tone sandhi|change tone]] when spoken). For example: | ||
; {{tts| | ; {{tts|cidtaai [[tiexnsi]]}}, {{tts|nngxtaai [[chiaf]]}}, {{tts|svataai [[lefngkhix]]}}, ... | ||
: | : one television, two cars, three air conditioners ... | ||
For numbers greater than ten, ''{{x|id}}'' and ''{{x|ji}}'' | For numbers greater than ten, ''{{x|id}}'' and ''{{x|ji}}'' begin to be used. For example: | ||
;{{ | ; {{tts|ji-zap-taai chiaf}}, {{tts|ji-zap-id-taai chiaf}}, {{tts|ji-zap-ji-taai chiaf}}, ... | ||
: | : 20, 21, 22, ... | ||
;{{tx|nngxpaq, nngxchiefn, nngxban}} | If you have a hundreds place, count it with ''{{x|cit}}'', ''{{x|nng}}'', ''{{x|svaf}}''... and from 101, the blank tens place is {{gt|khoxng|空|[[0|zero]]}}: | ||

; {{tx|cidpaq}}-taai, {{tx|cidpaq-khoxng-id}}-taai, {{tx|cidpaq-khoxng-ji}}, ... | |||
: 100, 101, 102, ... | |||
There are shortcuts when the ones place is blank: | |||
