How 45 is built in Yorùbá

àárùndínláàdọ́ta is àrún (5) taken away from àádọ́ta (50): 50 − 5 = 45. The "dín" in the word means "less".
àádọ́ta (50) is itself ten taken from ọgọ́ta (60): 60 − 10.
ọgọ́ta (60) is 3 twenties: 3 × 20.
Yorùbá counts down from the next ten for any number ending in 5 to 9, so 45 is reached from 50, not from 40.

Modern base-10 form

ogójì ó lé márùn-ún

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