Igbo Numbers
The numbers used in most languages remain
the same apart from Roman, Greek, etc.,
numbers that are really different in nature.
However, the only difference to other
languages’ numbers may be the way they are
written. Igbo numbers are similar to those of
other languages.
Starting from “0” which is called “adigi.” 1 is
called “otu.” 2 is called “abụọ.” 3 is called “atọ.” 4
is called “anọ.” 5 is called “ise.”
The following are Igbo numbers:
From number 20 many people use different
ways to calculate them. Many people call 20
“ogụ” and then 30 is “ogụ na iri” 40 is “ogụ abụọ”
50 is “ogụ abụọ na iri” 60 is “ogụ atọ” 70 is “ogụ
atọ na iri” 80 is “ogụ anọ” 90 is “ogụ anọ na iri”
and 100 is “nnari”
