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
