When you count people or objects, you should remember to match cardinal numbers with the prefix of the nouns they modify. For example: (1)  Hari abantu babiri mu modoka ‘there are two people in the car’. (2) Hari intebe ebyiri mu nzu ‘there are two chairs in the house’. (3) Hari ibitabo bitanu ku ntebe ‘there are five books on the chair’. (4) Hari ikirahure kimwe ku meza ‘there is one glass on the table’.
