The numeral system in the Chimean language is simple and straightforward.
Chimean uses a decimal system with individual words for the numbers one to ten, as following:one (1): on /ɒn/
two (2): do /dɒ/
three (3): tre /tɾe/
four (4): fir /ɸiɾ/
five (5): fuif /ɸyɸ/
six (6): cek /t͡ʃek/
seven (7): cefe /t͡ʃeɸe/
eight (8): arrt /art/
nine (9): nuit /nyt/
ten (10): cen /t͡ʃen/
The following few numbers (11-13), that have individual names in the English language, as well as the numbers up to 19, are built up simply by joining 'cen' (ten) and the single-digit numeral that needs to be added on top of ten to reach the number you'd want to express.
eleven (11): cenon /t͡ʃenɒn/
twelve (12): cendo /t͡ʃendɒ/
thirteen (13): centre /t͡ʃentɾe/
fourteen (14): cenfir /t͡ʃenɸiɾ/
fifteen (15): cenfuif /t͡ʃenɸyɸ/
sixteen (16): cencek /t͡ʃent͡ʃek/
seventeen (17): cencefe /t͡ʃent͡ʃeɸe/
eighteen (18): cen'arrt /t͡ʃenhart/ (the apostrophy /h/ added because of the unusual syllable structure that would split it like ce.narrt although should be cen.arrt)
nineteen (19): cenuit /t͡ʃenyt/
The following numbers from 20 up to 99 are built by adding the number in front of the 'cen', by which it should be multiplied to gain the actual number (i.e. 20 -> two-ten; 25: two-ten-five).
Only a few examples are given due to readability.
twenty (20): docen /dɒt͡ʃen/
fourty-five (45): fircenfuif /ɸiɾt͡ʃenɸyɸ/
eighty (80): arrtecen (<e> added for better pronounciation) /artet͡ʃen/
ninety-nine (99): nuitcennuit /nytt͡ʃennyt/
With the bigger numbers, there are also new words to learn.
one hundred (100): bod /bɒd/
one thousand (1000): hen /χen/
Numbers greater than 1000 are expressed by the known morphing technique mentioned above.
one-thousand fourty-six (1046): henfircencek /χenɸiɾt͡ʃent͡ʃek/
five-thousand three-hundred-fifty-nine (5359): fuifhentrebodfuifcennuit /ɸyɸχentɾebɒdɸyɸt͡ʃennyt/
In casual language though, the words are seperated by dashes (-) for better readability. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
