<li />Pu Advanced is the defacto standard; however, using <span />"mute<span />" and <span />"ale" as numbers can be quite confusing. "luka" as a number word is much less likely to be ambiguous and is pretty widely accepted as meaning 5, even outside of pu advanced. Using "sijelo" for 20 extends the metaphor; your body has 2 hands and 2 feet, for a total of 20 digits (fingers + toes). Sijelo is also unlikely to be as confusing as "mute" and "ale" in context.

<p>I like kijetesantakalu, but I find the idea of repetition and stress marking to be nasa mute. This is my solution, kijetesantakalu epiku or shorter nanpa ki.</p>
==== How it works? ====
Line 434:
Just like kijetesantakalu, the word is divided into segments representing numbers in seximal:
<blockquote />
<p />ki-je(5)-te(4)-san(3)-ka(2)-ta(1)-lu(0)
<p />As you can see, the syllable ki is ommited and plays no role in defining a number. Let's give it one!
<p />In nanpa ki, ki- is used as the beginning of a number (think of it as 0x in base hex). The syllables after ki- are the numerals of the number. Simple, isn't?
==== Numerals (in examples, all but initial ki- are omitted): ====
<blockquote />
<p />0 - (ki)lu
1 - (ki)ta
2 - (ki)ka
3 - (ki)san
4 - (ki)te
5 - (ki)je
<blockquote>
<p>10<sub>6</sub> - 6<sub>10</sub> - kitalu</p>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>

<p />Numerals are spoken predictably according to positional notation.

<p><code>kulu</code> is used for any placeholder zeros.</p>
A lone <code>wan</code> before <code>kulu</code> may be omitted.

<p />To express a negative number, add <code>weka</code> to the end of the series of digits that constitute a single number.
<p>To specify a positive number, add <code
<p>Examples:</p>
<blockquote>
Line 541:
(This will not be confused with the usage of <code>lon</code> described above as long as there is a number directly to each side of rational <code>lon</code>.)
<p />Examples:
<blockquote>
<p>1/2 – wan lon tu<br />
3/5 – san lon luka<br />
14/5<sub>6</sub> – 10/5<sub
</blockquote>
==== Arithmetic ====
<p>Equations are structured like basic sentences.</p>
<p>The use of <code
<p>Examples:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>1 + 1 = 2 – wan en wan li (sama) tu.
3 + 3 = 10 – san en san li (sama) kulu.<br />
5.3 + 3.3 = 13 – luka lili san en san lili san li wan san.
10 + -3 = 3 – kulu en san weka li san.<br />
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4 – wan lon po en tu lon po li san lon po.</p>
</blockquote>
Examples:
Line 572:
2 - 1 = 1 – tu weka wan li wan.<br />
10 - 3 = 3 – kulu weka san li san.<br />
13 - 3.3 = 5.3 – wan san weka san lili san li luka lili san.
3 - -3 = 10 – san weka san weka li kulu.<br />
2 - 3 = -1 – tu weka san li wan weka.
</blockquote>
<p>Examples:</p>
<blockquote>
3 * 2 = 10 – san mute tu li kulu.
5 * -2 = -14 – luka mute tu weka li wan po weka.
</blockquote>
<p>Examples:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>10 ÷ 2 = 3 – kulu kipisi tu li san.
-14 ÷ 5 = -2 – wan po weka kipisi luka li tu weka.</p>
</blockquote>
<p />Examples:
<blockquote>
2<sup>3</sup> = 12 – tu sewi san li wan tu.
3<sup>2</sup> = 13 – san sewi tu li wan san.
10<sup />2
5<sup />0
4.3 * 10<sup>4</sup> = 43 000 – po lili san mute kulu sewi po li po san kulu kulu kulu.
</blockquote>
<p>Examples:</p>
<blockquote>
<p />cbrt(12) = 2 – wan tu noka san li tu.
sqrt(13) = 3 – wan san noka tu li san.
sqrt(100) = 10 – kulu kulu noka tu li kulu.<br />
4thrt(213) = 3 – tu wan san noka po li san.
</blockquote>
<p>'''Logarithms:''' To express a logarithm in an equation, use the following structure:</p>
<blockquote>
sewi tan [argument] pi anpa [base] li (sama) [exponent].
</blockquote>
<p />Examples:
<blockquote>
log<sub>2</sub>(12) = 3 – sewi tan wan tu pi anpa tu li san.
log<sub>3</sub>(13) = 2 – sewi tan wan san pi anpa san li tu.
log<sub>10</sub>(100) = 2 – sewi tan kulu kulu pi anpa kulu li tu.
</blockquote>
To alter the order of operations, use <code>ni</code> in place of an argument. If <code>ni</code> occupies the first argument of an operation, then the value of the previous operation becomes the first argument. If <code>ni</code> occupies the second argument of an operation, then the value of the following operation becomes the second argument. Follow <code>ni</code> with <code>ale / ali</code> to make the value of all previous / following operations the argument in an operation.
<p />Examples:
<blockquote />
<p />13 + (2 * 2) = 21 – wan san en tu mute tu li tu wan.
(13 + 2) * 2 = 34 – wan san en tu, ni mute tu li san po.
(30 ÷ 3) - 1 = 5 – san kulu kipisi san weka wan li luka.<br />
30 ÷ (3 - 1) = 13 – san kulu kipisi ni: san weka wan, li wan san.
1/4 + 3 – wan lon po en san
1/(4 + 3) – wan lon ni: po en san
==== Comparisons ====
<p>Use these structures to compare the values of real numbers:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>x
x
x = y – y la x li sama.
x &
x &
</blockquote>
Examples:
<blockquote>
3 &
1/3
1/2 = 3/10 – san lon kulu la wan lon tu li sama. / won lon tu li (sama) san lon kulu.<br />
x
</blockquote>
==== Complex Numbers ====
<p>To indicate an imaginary value, follow the number with <code>poka</code>. To specify a real value (if necessary), follow the number with <code>nasin</code>. In the standard form of a complex number, the real part should precede the imaginary part. Any part of a complex number with a value of zero should be omitted.</p>
Examples:
<blockquote />
<p />i – (wan) poka<br />
2i – tu poka<br />
3 + 5i – san (nasin) en luka poka<br />
2 - 3i – tu (nasin) en san weka poka / tu (nasin) weka san poka

Numbers up to 15 work additively (15 = ka po tu wan). These correspond with heximal digits or 4 bit chunks of binary numbers. When placed in front of the higher numbers they multiply.
<blockquote />

This is a mixed radix multiplicative numbering system for toki pona made by me, jan Lomu (Rome#3129). I've made a google doc of it, that is essentially the below: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wESh0MnyUlVXQj8TiuxdW5PT68WBJgMe2bAYB-VJPJQ/edit?usp=sharing gdoc]
The crux of this system is that, when a lesser numeral precedes a greater numeral, or if two of the same numeral concatenate, they are multiplied. If the inverse occurs, they are simply added. This employs order of operations, multiplication is first, so “ali tu luka” is not 100 + 2 + 5, rather 100 + (2 * 5). This system is a mixed radix, so the different positions, rather than being powers of one base, are actually three distinct numbers: 5, 20, and 100. Any number in this system could potentially be represented in the style of [ale : mute
<p />It utilizes two non-pu words, san (three), and po (four). This is included for the sake of brevity, however these can certainly be replaced with tuwan and tutu for recognizability.
<blockquote />
<p />wan, tu, san, po, luka<br />

luka wan, luka tu, luka san, luka po, tu luka
six, seven, eight, nine, ten
tu luka wan, tu luka tu, tu luka san, tu luka po, san luka

san luka wan, san luka tu, san luka san, san luka po, mute

<p />Here are some examples of numbers from 1-10,000 and how they would be represented:
<blockquote />
<p />luka po ali po mute luka [9:4:1:0]
nine hundred eighty-five [985]
<blockquote>

<blockquote>

''e.g. 525,600 is written as kile sepe li luka. kile ten li tu. kile wan li luka. sepe li si.''
To make a number negative add the phrase &
''e.g. -525,600 is written as pini nun la kili sepe li luka. kili ten li tu. kili wan li luka. sepe li si''
<p />If a digit is repeated a multitude of times you can write that it repeats from the higher place number to the smaller place number using tawa.<br />

=== [pu words]? nasin nanpa mu (tan jan Sipiki) ===
numbers are treated as names in this system
headnouns:<blockquote>mute - amounts, quantities, cardinal numbers
nanpa - orders, placements, ordinal numbers</blockquote>
===== name construction =====
<p />
each prime lower than 17 gets its own syllable. these are multiplied together to get the final number.<blockquote>2 - tu
3 - sa
<p />5 - lu
7 - si
<p />11 - pe
13 - ke</blockquote>to say primes over 13, or composite numbers with prime factors over 13, use the prefix "wa", meaning "the next prime". this can be chained as many times as you want to get any arbitrarily high prime number.
===== examples =====
<blockquote>mute Satu - 6
nanpa Lutu - 10<sup>th</sup>
mute Pe - 11
mute Pepe - 121
<p />mute Wawake - 19<p />
mute Wawawawawawawawawaketu - 94</blockquote><p />pros:
<ul /><li />names of numbers are highly descriptive of their properties
<li />great complement to nasin nanpa pona (many larger numbers are easier to say)
<li />technically only pu words
<li />yummy nice numbers are easy to say
<li />no ambiguity
<p />cons:
<ul /><li>hard to count with</li>
<li>math (ew)</li>
<li />gross numbers (numbers with large prime factors) have 29 syllables
<p />if you are the kind of person to want to do '''linear algebra''' in ''<b />toki pona'', then this is the system for you ig
