To count "how many", "{{w|cardinal numbers}}" are used. Use the colloquial system (cit, nng, svaf) 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 (''cit'', ''nng'', ''svaf'') together with a [[lioxngsuu|classifier]] (the classifier will [[tone sandhi|change tone]] when spoken). For example: | ||

From 11, ''{{x|id}}'' and ''{{x|ji}}'' begin to be used instead of ''cit'' & ''nng''. For example: | |||
; {{tts|ji-zap-taai chiaf}}, {{tts|ji-zap-id-taai chiaf}}, {{tts|ji-zap-ji-taai chiaf}}, ... | ; {{tts|ji-zap-taai chiaf}}, {{tts|ji-zap-id-taai chiaf}}, {{tts|ji-zap-ji-taai chiaf}}, ... | ||

From 100, count the hundreds place 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}}, ... | ; {{tx|cidpaq}}-taai, {{tx|cidpaq-khoxng-id}}-taai, {{tx|cidpaq-khoxng-ji}}, ... | ||

: 110, 111, ..., 120, 121 | : '''110''', 111, ..., '''120''', 121 | ||
As we said, the next hundreds place is counted with ''{{x|nng}}''. | |||
; {{tx|nngxpaq}}, {{tx|nngxpaq-id}}, {{tx|nngxpaq-ji}} | ; {{tx|nngxpaq}}, {{tx|nngxpaq-id}}, {{tx|nngxpaq-ji}} | ||
