LEARN TO COUNT

In SJD language, the count of "one" is generally subject to the character of what is being counted. If it is just normal counting of numbers the word "sa" is used. However the word "miso" or "tunggal" is best used if we are referring to the number of unit of a subject.

Example 1:

1       2      3         4       5         6          7         8          9         10
Sa   duo  talu    apat  limo   anaom turu   walu    siam    mapod
One two  three  four   five   six        seven eight    nine     ten




Example 2:

Miso jenis    Duo Jenis     Talu jenis
one type       two types      three types



Example 3:
For the count of eleven up to twenty:

       11                   12                 13                    14                   15            
Mapod miso   mapod duo   mapod talu      mapod apat    mapod limo
      Eleven          twelve          thirteen           fourteen          fifteen

        16                      17                 18                    19                       20
mapod anaom     mapod turu    mapod walu    mapod siam    duo ngapod
      sixteen              seventeen      eighteen          nineteen            twenty



Example 4:
Counting the "tenth", from ten to one hundred:

10                         20                           30                        40                     50
mapod             duo ngapod            talu ngapod        apat ngapod     limo ngapod
ten                         twenty                  thirty                  forty                fifty


   60                       70                            80                  90                      100
