How 78 is built in Yorùbá

éjìdínlọ́gọ́rin is èjì (2) taken away from ọgọ́rin (80): 80 − 2 = 78. 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 78 is reached from 80, not from 70.

Modern base-10 form

àádọ́rin 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.
