Numeral

irinwó

1. four hundred
   1. (after a noun) four hundredth, number four

Usage notes

Since this number does not have a m-based form, similar to other multiples of ten afterwards, if it's describing a total number of items, it comes before the noun.

1. Irínwó dọ́là ni. – It's four hundred dollars

However, if it is describing an ordinal sequence, it comes after the noun.

1. Ọmọ irínwó l'ó jẹ́. – She's the four hundredth child.
