And today we're going to do something I've been looking forward to. Luna: Oh yeah? What's that? Lucas: We've learned numbers one through ten already, right? Now we're going to go from eleven to fifteen. Luna: Oh, nice. So like, continuing the counting journey. Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with eleven. In Telugu, eleven is పదకొండు. Luna: పదకొండు. Lucas: Good. పదకొండు. Say it once more. Luna: పదకొండు. Lucas: Perfect. Eleven. Now twelve is పన్నెండు. Luna: పన్నెండు. Lucas: Yes. పన్నెండు. Twelve. Luna: That's a nice word. పన్నెండు. Lucas: It is. Thirteen is పదమూడు. Luna: పదమూడు. Lucas: Great. పదమూడు. Thirteen. Luna: I notice it starts with 'పద' like eleven. Lucas: Good observation. Yes, 'పద' means ten, so eleven is ten-one, twelve is ten-two, etc. But they're unique words, not just combinations. Luna: Right. So what's fourteen? Lucas: Fourteen is పద్నాలుగు. Luna: పద్నాలుగు. Lucas: Yep. పద్నాలుగు. Luna: And fifteen? Lucas: Fifteen is పదిహేను. Luna: పదిహేను. Lucas: Exactly. పదిహేను. Luna: Okay, so let me try them all in order. పదకొండు, పన్నెండు, పదమూడు, పద్నాలుగు, పదిహేను. Lucas: That was flawless. Really good. Luna: Thanks! I've been practicing. Lucas: Let's do a little scene. Suppose you're at a market and you want to buy eleven apples. Luna: Okay. I'd say: నాకు పదకొండు యాపిల్స్ కావాలి. Lucas: Exactly. But we haven't learned apples yet, so let's just use numbers for now. Luna: Right. So just the number: పదకొండు. Lucas: Yes. Now let's do a quick review. What's twelve? Luna: పన్నెండు. Lucas: Thirteen? Luna: పదమూడు. Lucas: Fourteen? Luna: పద్నాలుగు. Lucas: Fifteen? Luna: పదిహేను. Lucas: You've got it. Now let's do a little backward drill. I'll say the Telugu, you say the number in English. పదకొండు. Luna: Eleven. Lucas: పన్నెండు. Luna: Twelve. Lucas: పదమూడు. Luna: Thirteen. Lucas: పద్నాలుగు. Luna: Fourteen. Lucas: పదిహేను. Luna: Fifteen. Lucas: See? You know them. Now let's put them in a sentence. You're at a shop and you want fifteen of something.
