Pronunciation
Numeral
àádọ́rin
- seventy
- (after a noun) seventieth, number 70
Usage notes
Since this number does not have a m-based form, similar to other multiples of ten, if it's describing a total number of items, it comes before the noun.
- Mo jẹ́ ọmọ àádọ́rin ọdún. – I am seventy years old.
However, if it is describing an ordinal sequence, it comes after the noun.
- Ọmọ àádọ́rin l'ó jẹ́. – He's the seventieth child.
