L: What drink do you want, sir? Apple juice or coffee?

M: Coffee, please.

L: Iced coffee?

M: No, but with milk, please.

L: Do you want chocolate?

M: I want it, but I don't need it... I don't eat sugar, so maybe a small chocolate.

L: I can give you chocolate without sugar.

M: Thank you!

L: And for you son, does he want milk?

M: Yes, I think so. I am forgetful, so I didn't bring food for him. Also, please put coffee and chocolate for my spouse on the table, please. She is in the bathroom.

Now try to create your own dialogue using dou, mai, su, and eta:

NUMBERS

Let's take a look at numbers! Here's how to count to ten:

Oravia	English
tam	1
tor	2
par	3
alem	4
alui	5
teva	6
peri	7
auta	8
teda	9
das	10

Now try counting from 1 to 10! How about backwards, from 10 to 1? How about counting just the odd numbers, and then just the even numbers?

Expressing higher numbers is really easy:

das = 10
das par = 13
par das = 30
par das alem = 34

Now try counting 1-20. Tip: 15 is das alui and 20 is tor das.

Next, try saying 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90. Tip: 40 is alem das and 80 is auta das.

Great job, you can count to 99! Or should I say, teda das teda?
