'''Tagalog counting numbers''' follow the same pattern with English counting (hundreds, tens, ones order).

== 0 - 10 ==
* '''Zero''' - Zero
* '''Isa''' - One
* '''Dalawa''' - Two
* '''Tatlo''' - Three
* '''Apat''' - Four
* '''Lima''' - Five
* '''Anim''' - Six
* '''Pito''' - Seven
* '''Walo''' - Eight
* '''Siyam''' - Nine
* '''Sampu''' - Ten

== 11-19 ==
* '''Labing-Isa''' - Eleven
* '''Labing-dalawa''' - Twelve
* '''Labing-tatlo''' - Thirteen
* '''Labing-apat''' - Fourteen
* '''Labing-lima''' - Fifteen
* '''Labing-anim''' - Sixteen
* '''Labing-pito''' - Seventeen
* '''Labing-walo''' - Eighteen
* '''Labing-siyam''' - Nineteen

== 20 - 99 ==
For numbers 20 up to 99, the naming follows a general format: ''tens-digit number + pu't + ones-digit number''. If the tens-digit number ends in a vowel, it is followed by an "m" before the ''pu''. If the vowel is "o", it is replaced by a "u" and followed by the "m". The ('t) following ''pu'' represents the word ''at'', meaning "and". So forty-seven is ''apatnapu't pito;'' sixty-six is ''animnapu't anim,'' but fifty-three is ''limampu't tatlo'' and eighty-one is ''walumpu't isa.'' If there is no ones digit, such as in fifty (limampu), no ('t) is added: thirty = ''tatlumpu.''

=== Example Numbers ===
* '''Tatlumpu't anim:''' Thirty-six
* '''Apatnapu't tatlo:''' Forty-three
* '''Limampu't dalawa:''' Fifty-two
* '''Pitompu:''' Seventy
* '''Siyamnapu't isa:''' Ninety-one

== 100 - 999 ==
For numbers 100 up to 999, we must first note that the Filipino word for "hundred" is ''daan''. The naming also follows a predictable format: "hundreds-digit number + na + daan + at + rest on the number", where the ''at'' (and) represents the connection between the hundreds and tens. So 649 is ''anim na daan at apatnapu't siyam''. For numbers that end in a vowel, the (na) is not used - instead, an ''-ng'' suffix is appended to the end, i.e. ''dalawang daan; limang daan''. However, in colloquial, literary or other terms (such as in the Filipino currency, the peso), the naming of numbers is often further shortened. See the following examples.

* '''Labintatlo:''' Labing-tatlo (thirteen)
* '''Dalawandaan:''' Dalawang daan (two hundred)
* '''Tatlong daa't tatlumpu't tatlo:''' Tatlong daan at tatlumpu't tatlo (333)

The shortcut in the first example is simply eliminating the "g" and hyphen, merging the two words into a single one. The same process is applied for the second example, sans the hyphen. Note that only the numbers that end with "a" can use the second example (''dalawa'', ''lima''; ''isa'' does not normally apply). The third example merges the end of ''daan'' with "at", forming ''daa't'' and continuing with the rest.

However, in formal speech, avoid from using the shortcuts, especially the combination of the second and third examples (i.e., ''limandaa't''), as it is practically slang and is almost difficult to decipher.

=== Example Numbers ===

* '''Isang daa't tatlo:''' One hundred and three
* '''Tatlong daan at limampu't lima:''' Three hundred and fifty-five
* '''Apat na daan:''' Four hundred
* '''Limandaa't siyam-na-pu't isa:''' Five hundred and ninety-one

== Example Phrases ==
* '''May apat na ahas akong nakita:''' I saw four snakes. (Lit. There four snakes I saw.)
* '''Labing-dalawa ang nasugatan ngayon:''' Twelve are currently injured. (Lit. Twelve the injured now.)
* '''Dalawampung guro ay nandito sa paaralan:''' Twenty teachers are here at school. Note the addition of "-ng" after the number, denoting its use as a counting adjective for ''guro,'' meaning "teacher".
* '''Apatnapu't-walong magsasaka ang nawala:''' Forty-eight farmers are missing.
* '''Si Hesus ay may labindalawang disipulo:''' Jesus has twelve disciples.
* '''Anim na daan at walumpu't pitong sundalo ang bumuo sa batalyon ni Kapitan Villamor:''' 687 soldiers composed the battalion of Captain Villamor.

'''Family,''' or '''''pamilya''''' in Tagalog, has a large and important role in an individual's life in Filipino culture. The Filipino family is known to be inseparable, inclusive and tightly-knit, with some families having four generations inside a household. Whether there are three or thirteen people under the same roof, everyone is loved and respected and it is not uncommon to see family members from everywhere in the world come home for Christmas or other special occasions.

=== Tips ===
'''When a vowel is repeated, each vowel is pronounced individually.'''

Such as in the case of words like ''aangat'', or ''umuunlad,'' the double "a" and "u" vowels are pronounced separately: ''a-a-ngat, u-mu-un-lad''. The vowels ''o'' and ''u'' are also pronounced individually when used together, such as in ''uod.''

'''Like in Spanish, the J is usually silent.'''

Words that contain a ''j'' treat the letter like an ''h'', especially in Spanish names like ''Juan.'' In fact, Filipino spelling has already replaced a lot of words from the Spanish language with a ''j'' with an ''h,'' i.e''., Hesus, Hulyo, kuneho, hardin, trabaho.'' However, Anglicized versions of names like Julia, and words like ''jew'', ''juice'', ''joke'', and ''jump'', keep the /dʒ/ sound.

Note: Older Filipinos have a habit of sounding the /dʒ/ phoneme as "dz". This is because the sound produced in the initial consonant of words such as "germs" or "juniper" is not native to the traditional Filipino tongue.

== Pilipinong Alpabeto (abakada) ==
From a period starting in the 1930s until 1976, the Philippines used the "Abakada" alphabet, which omitted all foreign letters adopted from former colonists. This system was closer to the original Alibata writing system used in prehistoric times. The letters ''c, f, j, ñ, q, v, x and z'' were all removed, and ''k'' replaced ''c'' in use and in the alphabet's position.

== Practice Phrases ==
* '''Pinatay ni Florifel ang paru-paro pagkatapos ng fiesta''' - Florifel killed the butterfly after the fiesta.
* '''Kinuha ng kuneho ang kamote ni Quixote''' - The rabbit took the sweet potato of Quixote.
* '''Uupo si Urduja habing umuubo''' - Urduja will sit while coughing.
* '''Iinggit si Ingrid dahil sa danggit''' - Ingrid will become jealous because of the ''danggit'' (salted sun-dried fish).

The fable tells of a conniving and selfish monkey and a clever turtle. After finding a banana tree, the two have a dispute as the monkey eats all the bananas without leaving any for the turtle. The disagreement becomes a battle of wits and ends with the frustrated monkey drowning after throwing the turtle into the river, not knowing that the water is the turtle's home.

Dr. Jose Rizal wrote the tale in Filipino by the end of the 19th century to entertain his family, popularizing it into a village tradition.

=== Ang Aso at Ang Uwak (The Dog and The Crow) ===
This story involves a crow that found a tasty piece of meat and flew to a tall branch to eat it. However, while eating it, it heard the voice of a dog below praising the crow for being the greatest among all birds. The crow, flattered, opened its mouth to thank the dog, but the meat dropped from its beak and into the dog's clutches. The moral of the story is that praise can be trickery in disguise.

A comparison can be drawn with the English tale, "Chantecleer and the Fox", where flattery causes the titular protagonist to be caught off-guard by the fox and kidnapped, and later, causes the fox to do exactly as the crow did in the Filipino fable.

'''Tagalog counting numbers''' follow the same pattern with English counting (hundreds, tens, ones order).

== 0-10 ==
* '''Zero''' - Zero
* '''Isa''' - One
* '''Dalawa''' - Two
* '''Tatlo''' - Three
* '''Apat''' - Four
* '''Lima''' - Five
* '''Anim''' - Six
* '''Pito''' - Seven
* '''Walo''' - Eight
* '''Siyam''' - Nine
* '''Sampu''' - Ten

== 11-19 ==
* '''Labing-Isa''' - Eleven
* '''Labing-dalawa''' - Twelve
* '''Labing-tatlo''' - Thirteen
* '''Labing-apat''' - Fourteen
* '''Labing-lima''' - Fifteen
* '''Labing-anim''' - Sixteen
* '''Labing-pito''' - Seventeen
* '''Labing-walo''' - Eighteen
* '''Labing-siyam''' - Nineteen

== 20-99 ==
For numbers 20 up to 99, the format follows a general format: ''tens-digit number + pu't + ones-digit number''. If the tens-digit number ends in a vowel, it is followed by an "m" before the ''pu''. If the vowel is "o", it is replaced by a "u" and followed by the "m". The ('t) following ''pu'' represents the word ''at'', meaning "and". So forty-seven is ''apatnapu't pito;'' sixty-six is ''animnapu't anim,'' but fifty-three is ''limampu't tatlo'' and eighty-one is ''walumpu't isa.'' If there is no ones digit, such as in fifty, no ('t) is added: thirty = ''tatlumpu.''

=== Example Numbers ===
* '''Tatlumpu't anim:''' Thirty-six
* '''Apatnapu't tatlo:''' Forty-three
* '''Limampu't dalawa:''' Fifty-two
* '''Pitompu:''' Seventy
* '''Siyamnapu't isa:''' Ninety-one

=== Example Phrases ===
* '''May apat na ahas akong nakita:''' I saw four snakes. (Lit. There four snakes I saw.)
* '''Labing-dalawa ang nasugatan ngayon:''' Twelve are currently injured. (Lit. Twelve the injured now.)
* '''Dalawampung guro ay nandito sa paaralan:''' Twenty teachers are here at school. Note the addition of "-ng" after the number, denoting its use as a counting adjective for ''guro,'' meaning "teacher".
* '''Apatnapu't-walong magsasaka ang nawala:''' Forty-eight farmers are missing.
