Most modern experts agree on the following count for an original

Note that there is a blank spot between the one and two no frump bids. When you have a count of 20 or 21, you must open with a suit bid.
For example you might have four-card heart sult, in which case you bid a heart. If your partner bids a spade, you bid two no trump, which tells your partner "in-between" that you have an hand.
In
