Tagalog Lite Appendix D - Numbers

Tagalog speakers use numbers originating from Tagalog, Spanish and English. In general, English is used most often. But you will hear Tagalog and Spanish numbers a lot, so you are encouraged to learn them and use them because that will give you a better chance of recognizing them. Here are the number tables for your convenience. I recommend you make a pass at memorizing them here as soon as you encounter them in a lesson. Do not be concerned if they do not stick well at first; there will be a lot of repetition, which will make them become automatic eventually. If at any time you are in doubt, revisit this appendix and review them again.

Ordinal numbers
Ordinal numbers are of the type: first, second, third, etc. With the exceptions of first, second, third and last, all you have to do to form an ordinal number in Tagalog is add ika in front of the number:
una
Show
first
Show
ikalawá
Show
second
Show
ikatló
Show
third
Show
ikaapat
Show
fourth
Show
ikalabinlimá
Show
fifteenth
Show
ikatatlumpû
Show
thirtieth
Show
ikasandaán
Show
hundredth
Show
hulí
Show
last
Show
Although you use una for just the plain “first”, when it comes to numbers like “twenty-first”, you use isa:
ikadalawampú’t isa
Show
twenty-first
Show
ikatatlumpú’t isa
Show
thirty-first
Show
ikaapatnapú’t isa
Show
forty-first
Show
Extra – Pang
Instead of ika, you can sometimes use pang, which may morph to pan or pam depending on the next letter, for ordinal numbers:
pangalawá
Show
second
Show
pangatló
Show
third
Show
panlimá
Show
fifth
Show
pampitó
Show
seventh
Show
But it cannot be used in some cases, like days of the month, so we will only use ika in the lessons.
Fractions
Tagalog fractions are rarely used, with the exception of:
kalahatì
Show
1/2
Show
Extra – Examples of Fractions
Although we will not be using these in the lessons, here are some examples to satisfy your curiosity:
sang-katló
Show
1/3
Show
sang-kapat
Show
1/4
Show
dalawang-katló
Show
2/3
Show
tatlong-kapat
Show
