Counting seeds in Zulu



"Math Activity: Counting Seeds in Zulu

Ms. Rebekah cut open a large squash for the children to explore and count the seeds. The children felt the seeds, flesh and skin of the squash, and we tried to count in the Zulu language".

Numbers from 1 to 10 in Zulu: kunye, kubili, kuthathu, kune, isihlanu, isithupha, isikhombisa, isishiyagalombili, isishiyagalolunye, ishumi.

OK, los numeros en Zulu son ridiculamente imposibles. El curandero invento el idioma cuando estaba alucinando con las hierbas.
