Just wait until you look into French numbers.

[โ€“] Frozzie@lemmy.world 55 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You know everytime your mention French number, there is always belgian or Swiss who will tell you :

๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ: 90+7

what the actual fuck is wrong with you, denmark?

[โ€“] Moghul@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

While learning Danish I figured out that's just the arcane incantation for the number. It's language juju, and you just have to know that it be like it do. Yes, it's syv og halvfems, but the reason behind it doesn't matter anymore. The rest of the double digit numbers are a mess as well; 30 is tredive (three tens in old norse) but starting with 50 it's this weird score (20) and half-to-score system.

When I first started learning my brain was desperately trying to make heads or tails of it and rationalize it somehow. And then I realized that was stupid, abandoned reason, and now I just utter these backwards ass numbers and we all nod and everyone is happy lol. Language is weird.

[โ€“] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

I can't stop giggling about the Danish way of saying that. Like, I don't even understand how that's 90? LMAO.

[โ€“] gmtom@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's not real. I refuse to believe that.

[โ€“] nilaus@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

It is, but we just say seven and half fives these days. Everybody knows the twenty are implied...

[โ€“] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

I think Finnish would be

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ: 9โ€ข10+7

Nine-tens seven

[โ€“] BakerBagel@midwest.social 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Where do you think nine-ty in English comes from?

[โ€“] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I think it comes from nine-tens. But if you check, that commenter didn't write it so.

[โ€“] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Same for Japanese

๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต: 9โ€ข10+7

ไน(kyuu) ๅ(juu) ไธƒ(nana)

Also, similar to English, 20 does not follow the pattern but instead has its own word. (Still written as 2โ€ข10 though)

Meanwhile in CJK languages we just chill and say 9 x 10 + 7. Why doesn't everyone do that?

[โ€“] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I guess "ninety" likely stems from "nine tens", so I guess English isn't far off
