# Bikol/Numbers
## Cardinal numbers

There exist two numerals in Bikol. The native Bikol and the Spanish numerals. Generally, Bicolanos use the Spanish terms if they are talking about time. You will, however, see the native terms if you would read literary books. If you are going on a shopping, prices are given in Spanish (or English) numerals.

Bikol has distinct words for numbers ranging from 0-10, as shown above. To form numbers within the range of 11 and 19, the prefix kag- is added to the number separated by a dash (or not in some cases), as also shown above.

Numbers above 19 whose digit ends with zero use the base number (0-9) and add the suffix -mpulo if the base number ends in a vowel, as shown in these examples:
* duwampulo (twenty)
* limampulo (fifty)
If the ending letter of the base number ends with the letter "o", the letter is changed to "u" before adding the suffix -mpulo, as shown in these examples:
* tulumpulo (thirty)
* pitumpulo (seventy)
* walumpulo (eighty)
If the ending letter of the base number is a consonant, the ligature na is added and the "m" from the suffix -mpulo is dropped, incorporating na into the suffix. However, it is still spelled as one word, as shown in these examples:
* apat na pulo (forty)
* anom na pulo (sixty)
* siyam na pulo (ninety)
Numbers above 20 whose ending digit is a digit other than zero use the base form of the number but attach a contracted form of may, the Bikol word for "with", and are separated by a space, as shown in these examples:
* apat na pulo may pito (forty-seven) or apat na pulo-pito
* duwampulo may anom (twenty-six) or duwampulo pito
* siyam na pulo may siyam (ninety-nine) or siyam na pulo siyam)

When numbers reach the hundreds range, the number is modified by dropping the last letter and adding the suffix -gatos, as shown in these examples:
* sanggatos (one hundred)
* limang gatos (five hundred)
For counting thousands, use the word ribo, meaning "thousand".
* sang ribo (One thousand)
* tulong ribo apat na gatos duwa (thirty thousand four hundred two)
For counting millions, use the word milyon, meaning "million".
* sarong milyon (one million)
* apat na milyon tulong gatos kag-anom na ribo siyam na gatos lima (four million three hundred sixteen thousand nine hundred five)

## Ordinal numbers

Except for the number 1, Bikol ordinals are made by adding the prefix ika- to the number in most cases, as shown in these examples:
* ika-apat (fourth)
* ikalima (fifth)
* ikapito (seventh)
* ikawalo (eighth)
The number 1 is a special case, as it is written as enot.
For numbers ranging above ten, the ika- prefix is applied to the number in the same way that it is done regularly, as shown in these examples below:
* ikakag-apat (fourteenth)
* ikaduwampulo siyam (twenty-ninth)
* ikawalumpulo walo (eighty-eighth)

## Spanish numbers

In certain situations, such as the numbering of buildings or places and financial transactions, Spanish numbers are used instead of the Bikol ones.
