Numerals

The basic numbers sound almost the same in Panglo as in English. However, greater numbers are arranged more logically in Panglo.

Ones	Ten and over	20 and over	30 and over
0 zero	10 (un) ten	20 due ten	30 tri ten
1 un	11 ten un	21 due ten un	31 tri ten un
2 due	12 ten due	22 due ten due	32 tri ten due
3 tri	13 ten tri	23 due ten tri	33 tri ten tri
4 for	14 ten for	24 due ten for	34 tri ten for
5 faif	15 ten faif	25 due ten faif	35 tri ten faif
6 sixe	16 ten sixe	26 due ten sixe	36 tri ten sixe
7 seven	17 ten seven	27 due ten seven	37 tri ten seven
8 eite	18 ten eite	28 due ten eite	38 tri ten eite
9 nain	19 ten nain	29 due ten nain	39 tri ten nain

Ones	Tens	Hundreds	Thousands
0 zero
1 un	10 (un) ten	100 un hunde	1000 un tauzen
2 due	20 due ten	200 due hunde	2000 due tauzen
3 tri	30 tri ten	300 tri hunde	3000 tri tauzen
4 for	40 for ten	400 for hunde	4000 for tauzen
5 faif	50 faif ten	500 faif hunde	5000 faif tauzen
6 sixe	60 sixe ten	600 sixe hunde	6000 sixe tauzen
7 seven	70 seven ten	700 seven hunde	7000 seven tauzen
8 eite	80 eite ten	800 eite hunde	8000 eite tauzen
9 nain	90 nain ten	900 nain hunde	9000 nain tauzen

Greater numbers follow the same logic.

10'000 un ten tauzen
100'000 un hunde tauzen
1'000'000 un milion
10'000'000 un ten milion
100'000'000 un hunde milion
1'000'000'000 un tauzen milion

Note: The words "billion" and "milliard" are not used in Panglo because their meanings are different from country to country. Instead, one should say tauzen milion (thousand millions) or giga.

The prefixes of the International System of Units (SI) are used in common language in Panglo. It is normal to say, for example:
eite giga person bi live in Dunia.
– Eight billion (or milliard) people live on Earth.

Prefix	Symbol	Base 10	Decimal
deka	da	10¹	10
heto	h	10²	100
kilo	k	10³	1'000
mega	M	10⁶	1'000'000
giga	G	10⁹	1'000'000'000
tera	T	10¹²	1'000'000'000'000
peta	P	10¹⁵	1'000'000'000'000'000
exa	E	10¹⁸	1'000'000'000'000'000'000
zeta	Z	10²¹	1'000'000'000'000'000'000'000
yota	Y	10²⁴	1'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000

Cardinal number before noun

Quantity can be expressed with numerals and other quantity-words. They are put before the word or phrase that they qualify.

un star – one star
due star – two stars
tri star – three stars
kam star – few stars
meni star – many stars

un dai kursi – one big chair
due dai kursi – two big chairs
tri dai kursi – three big chairs

Ordinal numbers

Ordinal numbers are similar to cardinal numbers but they are placed after the noun that they modify.

parte un – part one (the first part)
parte due – part two (the second part)
parte tri – part three (the third part)

Classifiers of measurement

The classifier of measurement or a measure word is a word that occurs between a numeral and a noun. It indicates how the referent of the noun is measured, contained or packaged. Classifiers of measurement is an open class of words, which includes, among many others, litre 'liter', mitre 'meter', botil 'bottle', kupa 'cup, mug', pake 'package', pote 'pot', sake 'bag, sack', tin 'can, tin' tong 'cask, barrel'.

Measure words are used in this simple structure: number + measure word + se + noun.

due litre se jus – two liters of juice
tri metre se kable – three meters of wire
un kupa se kafe – a cup of cofee
due botle se vin – two bottles of wine
tri sake se patato – three sacks of potatoes
for tin se limon jus – four cans of lemonade

Fractions

Fractions are formed with the help of the word parte 'part'.

Fractions can be interpreted in two ways. Firstly, the word parte can be interpreted as a classifier of measurement. Then, for example, due parte tri is interpreted as 'two parts of three (parts)'. Secondly, the last numeral can be understood as an ordinal number that modifies parte. Then, for example, due parte tri is interpreted as 'two thirds'. Both interpretations lead to the same result that due parte tri stands for '2/3' in mathematical symbols.

un parte due – a half (½)
un parte for – one fourth, one quarter (¼)
tri parte for – three fourths, three quarters (¾)
un parte hunde – one hundredth, one percent (1%)
un parte tauzen – one thousandth, one permille (1‰)

Fractions are connected to their noun head with se.

un parte due se haur – a half (of an) hour
faif ten parte hunde se jen – fifty percent of people
due parte tri se keke – two thirds of a cake

In addition, there is also a longer pattern for forming fractions. It uses the pattern X of Y parte ('X of Y parts').

un of due parte – one of two parts, a half (½)
un of for parte – one of four parts, a quarter (¼)
tri of for parte – three of four parts, three quarters (¾)
un of hunde parte – one of hundred parts, a percent (1%)
un of tauzen parte – one of thousand parts, a permille (1‰)

Months

The names of the months are:

Januari – January
Februari – February
Marte – March
April – April
Mai – May
June – June
Yuli – July
Auguste – August
Setembre – September
Otobre – October
Novembre – November
Desembre – December

In addition there is Ramazan (Ramadan), the holy ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar.

Alternatively there is also a number-based system of naming.

mes un – January
mes due – February
mes tri – March
mes for – April
mes faif – May
mes sixe – June
mes seven – July
mes eite – August
mes nain – September
mes ten – October
mes ten un – November
mes ten due – December

Days of the week

In ancient Greece, the days of the week were named after the Seven Luminaries, which consist of the Sun, Moon and the five planets that are visible to the naked eye. Each of the luminaries was also represented by a deity. This system spread to Rome, India, China and almost all across the world.

In English, the Roman deities were substituted by Germanic deities: Sunday = sun's day, Monday = moon's day, Tuesday = Tiw's day, Wednesday = Woden's day, Thursday = Thor's day, and Saturday = Saturn's day.

In Panglo, the names of the days of the week follow the Roman system, whereas the English system involved Germanic deities.

Luminary	Day of the week
Sole	soledi
Sun	Sunday
Lune	lunedi
moon	Monday (moon's day)
Marte	martedi
Mars	Tuesday (Tiw's day)
Merkur	merkurdi
Mercury	Wednesday (Woden's day)
Jove	jovedi
Jupiter	Thursday (Thor's day)
Venera	venerdi
Venus	Friday (Frige's day)
Saturne	saturdi
Saturn	Saturday (Saturn's day)

Alternatively there is also a number-based system of naming.

vike dey un – Monday (the 1st day of the week)
vike dey due – Tuesday (the 2nd day of the week)
vike dey tri – Wednesday (the 3rd day of the week)
vike dey for – Thursday (the 4th day of the week)
vike dey faive – Friday (the 5th day of the week)
vike dey sixe – Saturday (the 6th day of the week)
vike dey seven – Sunday (the 7th day of the week)

However, this is an unreliable system because the first day of the week can be different in different countries. In addition it is important to differentiate the days of the week (vike dey) and the days of the month (mes dey).

Time

The normal pattern for telling time is haur H en M, where H stands for hours and M stands for minutes. We always use this direct pattern, and we never use words like past and to in Panglo.

haur tri – three o'clock
haur tri en siro – three o'clock sharp
haur tri en faif – three oh-five – or five past three
haur tri en ten – three ten – or ten past three
haur tri en ten faif – three fifteen – or quarter past three
haur tri en tri ten – three thirty – or half past three
haur tri en for ten faif – three forty-five – or quarter to four
haur tri en faif ten – three fifty – or ten to four
haur tri en faif ten faif – three-fifty-five – or five to four

The 24 hour clock

Normally we use the 24 hour clock to tell the time in Panglo.

01:00 = haur un – one o'clock ~ one hundred hours
01:15 = haur un en ten faif – one fifteen ~ one hundred fifteen hours
01:30 = haur un en tri ten – one thirty ~ one hundred thirty hours
13:00 = haur ten tri – thirteen o'clock ~ thirteen hundred hours
13:15 = haur ten tri en ten faif – thirteen fifteen ~ thirteen hundred fifteen hours
13:30 = haur ten tri en tri ten – thirteen thirty ~ thirteen hundred thirty hours

The 12 hour clock

The 12 hour clock splits the day into two 12 hour sections. One lasts from midnight to noon and the second half lasts from noon to midnight. Hours before noon are called AM (pronounced ah-em), which comes from the phrase ante mide den, which means 'before midday'. Hours after noon are called PM (pronounced peh-em), which comes from the phrase pos mide den, which means 'after midday'.

Before midday we say:

🕐 = haur un AM – one AM
🕜 = haur un en tri ten AM – one thirty AM
🕔 = haur faif AM – five AM
🕙 = haur ten AM – ten AM

After midday we say:

🕐 = haur un PM – one PM
🕜 = haur un en tri ten PM – one thirty PM 🕔 = haur faif PM – five PM
🕙 = haur ten PM – ten PM
