Usage notes
  • The numerator is pertained by adding a numeral (as the numerator) then putting down the linker "ka" before the denominator.
    ‎sikatulo (“third (denominator)”) → ‎duha ka sikatulo (“two-thirds”)
  • A mixed number is applied by adding a numeral (as the whole number) then followed by "ug" (meaning "and") before the non-mixed fraction.
    ‎lima ug + ‎duha ka sikatulo (“two-thirds”) → ‎lima ug duha ka sikatulo (“five and two-thirds”)
