Remember that we generally use ‘nane’ and ‘jees’ for ‘one’ and ‘two’ if we are counting (pure numbers with no associated nouns). If there are nouns involved, we use ‘un’ and ‘daa’, which cause letter changes:
Ta nane aym (ta-NAAN-IMM) - I’ve got one.
Ta jees ayns shoh (ta-JEESS-unnss-SHAW) - There are two here.
Un vlein ny daa vlein? (UNN-VLAYN-na-DAA-VLAYN) - One year or two years?
For counting above ‘two years’, we have ‘bleeaney’, a special form of ‘blein’ (‘year’): tree bleeaney (tree-BLEE-an-a) - three years.
ry-hoi (ra-HY) - for (the purpose of)
cooishyn dellal (KOOSH-un-DELL-al) - business subjects
