Well, here we are on day four already. Numbers are very useful, but also not a very interesting thing to learn. At least that's always been my experience. Some other number words are the suffix -pela, which shows you are counting something (e.g. calpela balu, or in english, four bears) and the prefix nume- for the ordinals (e.g. nume-wan for first). While writing this I noticed that I have been titling my posts wrong. Calpela din is four days, but Nume-cal di din, fourth day, would probably make more sense. Oh well.
