====Cardinal numbers====

The Wolof numeral system is based on the numbers 5 ([[quinary]]) and 10 ([[decimal]]). It is extremely regular in formation, comparable to [[Chinese numerals#Reading and transcribing numbers|Chinese]]. Example: '''benn''' "''one''", '''juróom''' "''five''", '''juróom-benn''' "''six''" (literally, "five-one"), '''fukk''' "''ten''", '''fukk ak juróom benn''' "''sixteen''" (literally, "ten and five one"), '''ñent-fukk''' "''forty''" (literally, "four-ten"). Alternatively, "thirty" is '''fanweer''', which is roughly the number of days in a lunar month (literally "fan" is day and "weer" is moon.)

====Ordinal numbers====
[[Ordinal numeral|Ordinal numbers]] (first, second, third, etc.) are formed by adding the ending '''–éél''' (pronounced ayl) to the [[cardinal number (linguistics)|cardinal number]].

For example, two is '''ñaar''' and second is '''ñaaréél'''

The one exception to this system is "first", which is '''bu njëk''' (or the adapted French word ''premier'': '''përëmye''')
