==== The Dash (-) ====
The dash is used to separate a letter mix.
 
"oe" = reads like Kœtetekian "ö"
 
"o-e" = reads like plain oe
 
== Numbers ==
 
=== Digits ===
 
==== Explanation ====
n = Normal / As Prefix / Mathematical / Legacy (Optional)
 
==== Digit List ====
0 = Cero / Zer / Noß
 
1 = Une / Une / Sigg
 
2 = Dön / Biy / Doin / Doné
 
3 = Tritt / Triy / Trin
 
4 = Qintt / Qadr / Qirin / Quintt
 
5 = Qit / Pent / Qinin
 
6 = Cix / Heks / Hekin
 
7 = Cise / Sepet / Setin / Onto
 
8 = Octo / Octen / Otin
 
9 = Nove / Noßre / Notin / Nyen
 
=== Usage ===
 
==== Normal ====
"Mo termelo '''une''' ronßoloto." -> I have '''one''' apple.
 
==== As Prefix ====
"To termeles biy-muss." -> You have two muscles (biceps).
 
==== Mathematical (Optional) ====
"Sigg et sigg leme doin." -> One and (plus) one is (equals) two.
 
==== Legacy ====
Used when writing ordinal numbers or numbers between 11-19.
 
For example;
 
1st, 2nd, 3rd != Unevo, Dönvo, Trittvo;
 
1st, 2nd, 3rd = Unevo, Donévo, Trittvo;
 
or;
 
11, 12, 13 != unter, dönter, trittter;
 
11, 12, 13 = unter, donéter, trittter;
 
=== Bigger Numbers ===
10 = Toc
 
11 = Unter
 
12 = Donter (Officially donéter)
 
13 = Tritter (Officially trittter)
 
14 = Quintter (Officially quinttter)
 
15 = Qiter (Officially qitter)
 
16 = Toc-Cix
 
17 = Toc-Onto
 
18 = Toc-Octo
 
19 = Toc-Nyen
 
20 = Dön-Toc
 
21 = Une Dön-Toc
 
22 = Dön Dön-Toc
 
23 = Tritt Dön-Toc
 
30 = Tritt-Toc
 
31 = Une Tritt-Toc
 
100 = Hunt
 
200 = Dön-Hunt
 
1000 = Thount
 
2119 = Toc-Nyen Hunt Dön-Thount
 
10^6 = Millint
 
10^9 = Mallint
 
10^12 = Trillint
 
10^15 = Qetrillint
 
10^18 = Qentillint
 
10^21 = Septillint
 
10^24 = Sexillint
 
10^27 = Oktillint
 
10^30 = Nonillint
 
10^33 = Desillint
 
=== Paranthesis ===
The Kœtetekian numerical system is so complicated that it needs paranthesis.
 
For example, paranthesis is needed stating the number "12001".
 
It's said as "Une (Dön Toc) Hunt" -> One (Two Ten)-Hundred -> One Twelve-Hundred -> Twelve-Hundred One -> Twelve Hundred and One
 
But without paranthesis, it would be:
 
"Une Dön Toc Hunt -> One Two Ten Hundred -> Hundred Ten One Two -> One-Hundred and Ten and One Two -> One Hundred and Eleven Twelve (There's no single number as "eleven twelve" [it only
 
exists as 2 numbers] but it's the most accurate translation of "Une Dön" that's a wrong Kœtetekian grammar, only written to create the thesis being that numbers with parts of them written
 
in paranthesis not being the same as them not being in paranthesis.)
 
( = Unen Parateset
 
) = Ceren Parateset
 
=== Decimal Numbers ===
 
==== Normal Decimal Numbers ====
0.54 = Cero Putt Quintt Qit-Toc
 
==== Special Decimal Numbers ====
0.5 = Cero et Qitete
 
0.25 = Cero et Qinete
 
0.75 = Cero et Terete
 
==== Fractions ====
½ = Une carxaber dön
 
=== Computation ===
 
==== Numerical Operators ====
1 + 1 = Une et une
 
1 - 1 = Une carxa-et une
 
1 * 1 = Une ber une
 
1 / 1 = Une carxaber une
 
1 ** 1 = Une berber une
 
1 // 1 = Une carxaberpelnalanoßmobulo (division but no modulus) une
 
1 % 1 = Une mobulo une
 
1 + 1 = 2 = Une et une leme dön
 
==== Binary Logical Operators ====
&& = et
 
|| = ot
 
^ = exec ot
 
! = noß
 
==== Ordinal Numbers ====
nth = nvo
 
1st = unevo
 
2nd = donévo
 
3rd = trittvo
 
4th = quinttvo

=== Making New Words ===
Since Kœtetekian is a small language, there should be a way to create new words. There's actually 2 ways:
 
==== By Existing Words ====
pond = minituréaqunmar (small water sea)
 
dinosaur = dinovta
 
Loch Ness Monster = minituréaqunmardinovta
 
==== By Non-Existing Words ====
1. Get a word from a Latin (French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian, Moldavian etc.) language -> universidad ("university" in Spanish)
 
2. Modify it a bit -> universtad
 
3. Make it satisfying for Kœtetekian grammar -> universtar
 
4. Congrats, new word! (go to a school with high importance -> universtar)
 
(This is an example, not an actual word in Kœtetekian)
