Y1. Counting

(To learn more about counting, read the information on the kontañ page.) Basically, make sure you put the object you are counting in the singular, after the units and before the tens, when counting from twenty (ugent) onwards.
Ugent levr
Ul levr warn-ugent
Pemp lur ha tregont
Be careful to remember the mutations after :
  • the article (see kentel 15)
  • the numbers daou, div, tri, teir, pevar, peder, and nav. (See kentel 16.)

Y2. Pet / Pegement

Pet, which is used for asking about the number of objects (how many in English) is always followed by the singular, as are numbers :
Pet tamm bara zo ?
Pet eur eo ?
Pegement is used when asking about the quantity or price (how much in English) :
Pegement eo ? Dek lur ?

Y3. Pet eur eo ?

(The page An eurdeals with telling the time in Breton.)
Be careful to use the feminine numbers div, teir, peder, and make sure you pronounce and stress them correctly :
Div eur /'diveur/
Peder eur /pe'dereur/
Pemp eur/'pêm(b)eur/

Y4. Pegement eo ? Pegement zo ?

(Using the kontañ (counting) page you can practise saying the prices of items you buy regularly.)
-Pegement eo ar gazetenn-se ? -Pemp lur hanter.
Pegement eo al levr ? Pegement zo ganit ?
Pegement zo = how much (money) is there ?

Y5. Age

Pe oad and pet vloaz are used when asking about age. Saying the ages from 0 to 20 should be straightforward. (Look up the numbers over 20 on the kontañ page.)
Bloaz mutates after pet and all numbers except : ur, tri, pevar, pemp, nav.
-Pet vloaz eo ? -Tri bloaz

Y6. The date

(Dates are dealt with on the An deiziad page.)
