Counting objects
Textbook Part 1, pp. 10–11
GoalCount objects up to 9 and use ordinal words (first, second, ...).
New words
to count · sanamoqfirst · birinchisecond · ikkinchithird · uchinchilast · oxirgi
Explanation
When we count, we touch each object only once and say a number: one, two, three... The last number we say tells how many there are. Ordinal words tell an object’s place in a line: first, second, third.
