Built as 40 − 2

How 38 is built in Yorùbá

éjìdínlógójì is èjì (2) taken away from ogójì (40): 40 − 2 = 38. The "dín" in the word means "less".
ogójì (40) is 2 twenties: 2 × 20.
Yorùbá counts down from the next ten for any number ending in 5 to 9, so 38 is reached from 40, not from 30.

Modern base-10 form

ọgbọ̀n ó lé mẹ́jọ

In school maths, prices and phone numbers, the modern system only adds: "ó lé" means "and more", so the parts are simply summed.
