How 76 is built in Yorùbá
- ẹ̀rìndínlọ́gọ́rin is ẹ̀rin (4) taken away from ọgọ́rin (80): 80 − 4 = 76. The "dín" in the word means "less".
- ọgọ́rin (80) is 4 twenties: 4 × 20.
- Yorùbá counts down from the next ten for any number ending in 5 to 9, so 76 is reached from 80, not from 70.
Modern base-10 form
àádọ́rin ó lé mẹ́fà
In school maths, prices and phone numbers, the modern system only adds: "ó lé" means "and more", so the parts are simply summed.
