In our French class we were taught the correct way is four-twenty ten nine (quatre-vingt-dix-neuf)???

Well, we say two-and-thirty instead of thirty-two ...

>>72114349
>90
>not saying 4½ x 20

Danish are the true masters of numbers

you know what linguists call you people? language purists. its a derogatory term among many doctors who correlate it with people who believe some languages are actually more advanced/sophisticated when in reality, all languages are capable of only one thing: conveying ideas. thats all there is to it.

Well instead of saying 30, the Japanese say ten ten ten.

It is. I guess he wrote eighty because French speakers are so used to the "4x20" that they dont think about it anymore

their -ed at the end of verbs triggers me a lot, why it is prononced "t" and sometimes "d"? why this meme language is not phonetic goddamn??

>why this meme language is not phonetic goddamn
>Qu'est-ce que c'est

>>72117227
[FR] Deux mille dix-sept: 4
[AR] alfayn wa sabaata achar: 8
[EN] Two thousand and seventeen: 7
Even saying "twenty seventeen" or "two o seventeen" is still 5 syllables, more than French.
[ES] dos mil diecisiete: 6

It may be short, but yeah it's retarded.

>>72117135
point

>>72117002

>>72117633
how something who finish with -ed could sound "t" or "d"?? it logically sound "aid" with a phonetic point of view.

- kickaid
- removaid
- pointaid
- jumpaid
etc...
