Etymology
From ọ̀rún (“one hundred”) + dín (“to subtract”) + ní (“in”) + irín (“four hundred”), "One hundred subtracted from four hundred.".
Pronunciation
Numeral
ọ̀ọ́dúnrún
- three hundred
- (after a noun) three hundredth, number 300
Usage notes
Since this number does not have a m-based form, similar to other multiples of ten afterwards, if it's describing a total number of items, it comes before the noun.
- Ọ̀ọ́dúnrún dọ́là ni. ― It's three hundred dollars.
However, if it is describing an ordinal sequence, it comes after the noun.
- Ọmọ ọ̀ọ́dúnrún l'ó jẹ́. ― She's the three hundredth child.
