Welcome to the sixth Swahili lesson about numbers. This time we will learn about cardinal and ordinal numbers, followed by grammar rules, then animal names, finally a conversation in Swahili to help you practice your daily phrases.
Numbers Grammar Rules
Swahili cardinal numbers refer to the counting numbers, because they show quantity. For example: I speak twolanguages. Ordinal numbers on the other hand tell the order of things and their rank: my first language is Swahili. The examples below use numbers in different ways and places to demonstrate how they behave in a sentence.
We're not done yet! The following is a list of animals.
cow ng'ombe | goat mbuzi | donkey punda | horse farasi |
dog mbwa | cat paka | mouse panya | bird ndege |
