Numbers
Ilonggo people use two sets of numbers: traditional Hiligaynon numbers, and Spanish numbers. For numbers less than 10, you use true Hiligaynon numbers. For prices, dates, times, and bigger numbers, you'd use Spanish.
Hiligaynon Numbers
1 - Isa
2 - Duha
3 - Tatlo
4 - Apat
5 - Lima
6 - Anom
7 - Pito
8 - Walo
9 - Siyam
10 - Napulo (usually shortened to Pulo)
Pronunciation: When spoken quickly, "duha" often sounds more like "duwa." In the number "siyam," the "si" is pronounced as "sh."
Numbers must be linked to the thing they describe. This is done using the word "ka."
Example: 1 person = isa ka tawo
Example: 3 pieces = tatlo ka bilog
Although you would normally use "mga" to pluralize an object, that is not done with things that are linked to numbers.
Spanish Numbers
1 - uno
2 - dos
3 - tres
4 - kwatro
5 - singko
6 - says
7 - siyete
8 - otso
9 - nuwebe
10 - diyes
Pronunciation: These numbers sound like traditional Spanish numbers until you reach 6, which sounds like "Sise." In the number 7, the "si" is pronounced as "sh." The number 8 is not pronounced "ocho," it's "otso." The number 9 does not have a "V." Instead it's a "B."
11 - onse
12 - dose
13 - trese
14 - katorse
15 - kinse
16 - disisays
17 - disisiyete
18 - disiotso
19 - disinuwebe
20 - beynte

101 - siyento uno
250 - dos-siyentos singkwenta
1,772 - mil siyete-siyentos sitenta'y dos
Ordinals
To say the words, "first, second, third, etc." you simply add "ika-" to the beginning of the number.
Example: The third cat = Ang ikatatlo nga koring.
Note: With ordinal numbers, they are linked with "nga," rather than "ka."
Multiplicative Adverbs
To say once, twice, etc, you add "maka-" to the beginning of the number. Makaisa = once, makaduha = twice, and so on. The "maka" prefix can be shortened to "ka."
This also works as "times." Ex: four times = kaapat, five times = kalima
