  • IPA(key): /àá.dɔ́.ꜜɾĩ̄/

Numeral

àádọ́rin

  1. seventy
    1. (after a noun) seventieth, number 70

Usage notes

Since this number does not have a m-based form, similar to other multiples of ten, if it's describing a total number of items, it comes before the noun.

  1. Mo jẹ́ ọmọ àádọ́rin ọdún. – I am seventy years old.

However, if it is describing an ordinal sequence, it comes after the noun.

  1. Ọmọ àádọ́rin l'ó jẹ́. – He's the seventieth child.
