Can you count in Pali?
I am reading a Sinhalese book and the author uses Pali numerals and I have trouble reading it.
Can you find a YouTube video or recording for counting in Pali?

Re: Can you count in Pali?
Just 1 to 10 for me. Those are easy because there are several Pali terms that start with them; pañca-sila, etc.
I started a Pali course several years ago, but didn't stick with it, so forgot most of it. Languages need lots of practice and repetition. The best way to learn is to live in a country that speaks that language, which there is none for Pali.

Re: Can you count in Pali?
I voted "up to 10".
I can count up to eleven, in ordinal numbers. Not much familiar with exact usage of pali cardinal numbers. Pali ordinal numbers up to 10 are commonly found in everyday writings in Burmese.
From wikipedia page of Burmese numerals:

From wikipedia page of Burmese numerals:
- Ordinal numbers
Ordinal numbers, from first to tenth, are Burmese pronunciations of their Pali equivalents.[1]

"Tinggalkanlah 5 (belantara) dan patahkan 5 (belenggu rendah),
Serta kembangkan 5 potensi (4 iddhipādā + 1 ussoḷhi).
Bhikkhu yang telah menaklukkan 5 kungkungan (belenggu tinggi),
Lebih layak disebut 'orang yang telah mengarungi air baih (saṃsārå)'."
