minus-square@blazarious@mylem.melinkfedilink9•2 years agoI’d argue it’s 4*20+19 in French, though, otherwise you’d probably need to change some of the other 99 to 90+9.
minus-square@SolanumChillEse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•2 years agoNineteen is dix-neuf though. Which is literally ten-nine. 11-16 all have an equivalent word to the English “teens.” Quatorze for example instead of dix-quatre for 14.
minus-square@blazarious@mylem.melinkfedilink11•2 years agoYes but 99 is also literally ninety nine, so the English ones should be 90+9 🤷♂️ don’t know about Spanish, though
