I made two versions of the learning resource today on counting. One is in Filipino and the other one is in English. The PDF files contain the following: number charts from 1 to 100, a chart with both symbols and number words from 1 to 100, and 2 worksheets where the student is asked to fill in the missing numbers in a number chart from 1 to 100.

Good day!
I was wondering why some of the numbers are written “Labing-***” but others are “labin***” or “labim***.” Is there a grammatical explanation for this? Or is it something that just kind of evolved?
Hi, Lilibeth! Labing-, labin, and labim are used as prefixes. If the base word (the number) begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, or u) or W or Y, the prefix used is labing- (with a dash because without it, people might combine the ng with the vowel) and syllabicate incorrectly. So, it’s labing-apat, syllabicated as la-bing-a-pat, instead of la-bi-nga-pat. Labingwalo does not need a dash because it is syllabicated as la-bing-wa-lo. If the base word begins with the letters D, L, R, S, or T, the prefix used is labin (without a dash). So, it’s labinlima and labintatlo. Finally, if the base word ends in B or P, the prefix labim (without a dash) is used. So, it’s labimpito. These rules also apply to other prefixes such as pang, pan, or pam, used with other words. So, it’s panlabas (clothes for going out) and pambahay (house clothes). I hope this helps. Thank you for your comments!
Maraming salamat po!!
