Häufige Fehler
Do not add unnecessary suffixes to 'gante'. It is used as a standalone noun for time.
You do not need to say 'ten-twenty' for twenty. Each number has its own unique name.
'Vara' already means day. Adding 'din' is redundant.

Use ondu for counting things.han- and hadi- and snapping them onto the numbers you already know.hattu (ten). The 'ha' sound is the leftover of the word for ten, just shortened for speed.Somavaara often implies 'on Monday' depending on the sentence structure.vaara.
