Introduction:

In this lesson, we will continue our journey of learning the Igbo language by focusing on counting numbers. Numbers are an essential part of any language, and by mastering them, you will be able to express quantities, ask for prices, and engage in basic conversations involving numbers. So, let’s dive into learning how to count in Igbo!

Counting from 1 to 10:

To start, let’s learn how to count from 1 to 10 in Igbo:

1. Otu
2. Abuo
3. Ato
4. Ano
5. Ise
6. Isii
7. Asaa
8. Asato
9. Ikeri
10. Iri

As you can see, the Igbo counting system follows a straightforward pattern, making it relatively easy to learn. Take your time to practice pronouncing each number correctly, as pronunciation is key to effective communication.

Counting from 11 to 20:

Now that we know how to count from 1 to 10, let’s move on to the numbers from 11 to 20 in Igbo:

11. Iri na otu
12. Iri na abuo
13. Iri na ato
14. Iri na ano
15. Iri na ise
16. Iri na isii
17. Iri na asaa
18. Iri na asato
19. Iri na ikeri
20. Iri abuo

Notice that the numbers from 11 to 19 are formed by combining the word “iri na” (meaning “ten and”) with the corresponding number from 1 to 9. The number 20, however, is expressed as “iri abuo.”

Counting beyond 20:

Once you have mastered counting from 1 to 20, you can easily continue counting by adding the word “iri” (meaning “ten”) to the numbers from 3 to 9. Here are some examples:

30. Iri ato
40. Iri ano
50. Iri ise
60. Iri isii
70. Iri asaa
80. Iri asato
90. Iri ikeri
100. Iri abuo

By following this pattern, you can count up to 100 in Igbo. Keep in mind that the word “iri” is used for all multiples of ten, while the corresponding numbers from 3 to 9 are added to complete the count.

Conclusion:

Congratulations on completing Lesson 3 of learning to count in Igbo! By now, you should have a good understanding of how to count numbers from 1 to 100 in the Igbo language. Remember to practice the pronunciation of each number to ensure effective communication.

Counting numbers is a fundamental skill in any language, and by mastering this skill in Igbo, you will be able to engage in basic conversations involving quantities, prices, and much more. So, keep practicing and expanding your knowledge of the Igbo language.
