Tuuma/Numbers

Numbers
Tuuma numbers operate on a base ten system.

Cardinal numbers can function as ordinal numbers when declined into the genitive case.
 * I got first place in the race.
 * M'ullam piksin ni qaairatsa.
 * I- NOM  be- PRS - 1SG  one- GEN  in race- PREP.

More complex numbers above ten that are not multiples of ten are said by simply listing the numbers, but including an "and" before the final digit.
 * 23
 * kikmi wa qutsi
 * 20 and 3


 * 805,813
 * kasutifni fillifni kasuut qumi wa qutsi
 * 800,000 5,000 800 10 and 3

A decimal point is said as nuk'a. All digits after a decimal point is said individually, as though they were in the ones place.


 * 0.01
 * ngutsi nuk'a ngutsi piksi
 * 0 point 0 1
