Digits and numbers from one to nine are specific words, namely m’moja [1], mbire [2], natu [3], n’né [4], n’tano [5], sita [6], saba [7], nane [8], and khénta [9].

The tens are kumi [10], shirini [20], talatini [30], arubaine [40], amusine [50], sitine [60], sabine [70], tamanine [80], and tusuine [90].

Compound numbers are formed by saying the ten, then the coordinator na (and), and the unit (e.g.: talatini na natu [33], tamanine na mbire [82]).

Hundreds are formed by setting the multiplier digit after the word for hundred (mia), except for one hundred itself: mia [100], mia mbire [200], mia natu [300], mia n’né [400], mia n’tano [500], mia sita [600], mia saba [700], mia nane [800], and mia khénta [900].

Thousands are formed the same way as hundreds, i.e. by setting the multiplier digit after the word for thousand (álufu), except for one thousand itself, unless compound: álufu [1,000], álufu mbire [2,000], álufu natu [3,000], álufu n’né [4,000], álufu n’tano [5,000], álufu sita [6,000], álufu saba [7,000], álufu nane [8,000], and álufu khénta [9,000].

Each group of numbers is linked to the others with na (and), tens and units, but also hundreds and tens, thousands and hundreds… (e.g.: mia na m’moja [101], mia sita na amusine na sita [656], álufu m’moja na mia n’né na talatini [1,430]).
