Notes

To say how often by using a number followed by 'times', you add the prefix "in-" except:

  1. “Insan” (once)
  2. If the initial letter of the cardinal number is vowel, add the prefix "ing-"; e.g. four times is "ingapat”.

For ordinals, you just simply add the prefix "kumo-". E.g. second time is "kumoinduo”.
