How to learn Kifuliiru cardinal numerals—lesson order and audience.
Cardinal numerals are the words used when counting in Kifuliiru: Ubusha, Higuma, Ikumi na bubiri, Kihumbi, and so on. This reference is organized in steps—from 0–10 through larger values—so you can look up forms and rules in a clear order.

Counting nouns (three people, ten cows) is separate: Counting nouns in Kifuliiru. Decimals, powers, and roots are separate: Math in Kifuliiru. Here we document cardinal words only.

Kifuliiru does not list every integer separately. It combines a small set of stems with rules. Steps 1–3 cover the stems most often needed; step 4 covers larger cardinals. For math on top of cardinals, see Math in Kifuliiru.
