You can survive without adjectives, but not without knowing what something costs. This class builds the number system so you can produce numbers you were never taught: eleven to nineteen carry ten inside them, and the tens are simply two-ten, three-ten and so on. Then come the two words every price, salary and property value in Kerala depends on, ലക്ഷം and കോടി, with the Indian way of grouping digits. You also get rupees and change, the fractions used at every market stall, ordinals like the second house, metric measures, and a note on the old grain measures നാഴി and പറ.
