Numbers 1-1000 in Tagalog

The Tagalog number system is primarily used for general counting, including ordinal numbers, and counting objects, things, people, and money. It's also used when referring to numbers that are rounded off or for simpler calculations.

When to use Tagalog numbers:

• General Counting: For basic counting of objects, people, and small quantities. 

  
  

  For example: "May tatlong libro." (There are three books.)

  
  

• Counting with specific units: When counting objects with specific units. For example: "dalawáng tao" (two people). 

  
  

• Counting money (especially when not using bills): For example: "Dalawáng piso" (two pesos) or "Limampung piso" (fifty pesos). 

  
  

• With weights: For example: "Isang kilo ng bigas" (one kilogram of rice). 

  
  

• Numbers ending in zeros: Numbers like 20, 200, 2000, etc., are often expressed in Tagalog. 

  
  

• Ordinal numbers: "Una" (first), "Ikalawa" (second), etc. 

  
  

When to use Spanish-derived numbers:

• Telling time: "Dos y medya" (2:30). 

• Telling dates: "Ikatlong ng Mayo" or "tres ng Mayo" (May 3rd). 

• Counting money (especially bills): "Daan't piso" (one hundred pesos) or "Bente pesos" (twenty pesos). 

• 
  

• In certain regions, some regions might have more preference for using Spanish numbers when counting. 

  
  

When to use English numbers:

• In everyday conversations: English numbers are often used for simplicity and speed, especially for larger numbers. 

  
  

• When talking about years: "Taon 2025" (Year 2025). 

• With technology: When referring to phone numbers, etc. 

Example:

• "May tatlong tao sa mesa" (There are three people at the table) - Using Tagalog numbers for general counting. 

• "Ang relo ay nagpapakita ng labing-isa ng alas kwatro" (The watch shows 11:45) - Using Spanish-derived numbers for time. 

• "Ang cellphone ko ay numero 09123456789" (My cellphone number is 09123456789) - Using English numbers for a phone number.
