By 'bar' I mean the place where you go to drink alcohol, so I think it's the right word.
And also, can you tell me the ambiguities my system would make?

tenpo pini lili la mi wile toki e nimi "ale". nasin nanpa mi li tan nasin nanpa pi jan Mato.
Yes, I meant "ale". And my system is based on jan Mato's one.

mi jo e pilin ante.
I have an other idea.
We could "spell" a number, and here we could use "pi" to separate the numbers.
For example: 2014= tu pi ala pi wan pi tu tu
1995= wan pi luka tu tu pi luka tu tu pi luka
It seems to be easier than the previous method.

for big numbers, you can use the previous method or the new one with it.
For example, 1 862 374= wan pi luka tu wan pi luka wan pi tu pi tu wan pi luka tu pi tu tu
1 000 000= luka luka ali ali ali(10*100*100*100)

so if there is pi, it's the second method, but if there is no pi, it's the first.

125 000= wan pi tu pi luka pi ala tenpo tu wan

I used that way, because it's the most convenient. And I used it because it means "times" for example: tenpo tu wan la: three times. With other words it would have been absolute nonsense.

It's not about multiplication, but about how many times a number is repeated. And it's not an English calque, I am French so I did a copy of French: deux fois= tenpo tu= two times.

Yes, that's what I meant, "occurence, occasion".

toki!
