Lesson 5 · Make simple plans
Calendar & Time
Time words are most useful when connected to real life: today, tomorrow, a meal, a family plan, or a date on the calendar. This written-first module covers 11–100 with attested base tens and source examples for joining a base ten to a final number; it then brings the same care to practical time expressions.

Membership learning path
Work through one small lesson at a time.
Lesson progress loads on this device.
Lesson 1 · 20 min
Numbers 11–19
Objective
Recognize the source-listed forms from eleven through nineteen.
Why it matters
The learner references list labing metung through labing siyam for 11–19. Keep these as written forms first; generated listening can support repetition, but it does not settle pronunciation.
Examples to notice
- •labing metung — eleven
- •labing lima — fifteen
- •labing siyam — nineteen
Tiny knowledge check
Tap an answer. You can try again anytime.
Which written form means “sixteen”?
Mark this complete after you can find any number from 11–19 in the Phrase Guide.
Lesson 2 · 28 min
Base tens through 100
Objective
Use base tens and the attested joining examples to read intermediate numbers on the page.
Why it matters
The references list adwampulu (20), atlung pulu (30), apat a pulu (40), limang pulu (50), anam a pulu (60), pitung pulu (70), walung pulu (80), siyam a pulu (90), and dinalan (100). Their written examples for 21–23 join adwampulu to the final number with 't: adwampulu't metung, adwampulu't adwa, adwampulu't atlu. Use that displayed base-ten-plus-final-number pattern as a reading aid, and check family or community usage when you need a spoken form.
Examples to notice
- •adwampulu — twenty
- •adwampulu't metung — twenty-one
- •dinalan — one hundred
Tiny knowledge check
Tap an answer. You can try again anytime.
Which source-listed form means “one hundred”?
Mark this complete after you have used the base-tens list and the 21–23 examples to read an intermediate number slowly.
Lesson 3 · 22 min
Clock time, days, and parts of day
Objective
Recognize a few practical time words and source-listed clock answers.
Why it matters
Start with ngening aldo (today), napun (yesterday), bukas (tomorrow), abak (morning), gatpanapun (afternoon), bengi (evening or night), ugtu (noon), and kapitangang bengi (midnight). For clock-time answers, the phrasebook lists a la una ning abak, alas dos ning abak, a la una ning gatpanapun, and alas dos ning gatpanapun.
Examples to notice
- •ngening aldo — today
- •ugtu — noon
- •alas dos ning gatpanapun — two o’clock in the afternoon
Tiny knowledge check
Tap an answer. You can try again anytime.
Which entry means “noon”?
Mark this complete after you have matched a part of day to one of the listed clock-time answers.
Lesson 4 · 20 min
Dates and everyday time questions
Objective
Use source-listed date language and questions as written reference points.
Why it matters
The academic dictionary records Nanu ing petsa ngeni? for “What is today’s date?” The phrasebook also gives Nanu ya ing oras ning almusal? for “What time is breakfast?” It writes dates such as Abril 26, 1988 and ika-9 ning Hulyu, 1998. Use these as written models rather than extending them into unsourced grammar drills.
Examples to notice
- •Nanu ing petsa ngeni? — What is today’s date?
- •Abril 26, 1988 — a source-listed written date format
- •ika-9 ning Hulyu, 1998 — a second source-listed written date format
Tiny knowledge check
Tap an answer. You can try again anytime.
Which question asks for today’s date?
Mark this complete after you can recognize the date question and one source-listed clock-time answer.
