GollumHow to say the number 92
someguy3Are all German numbers like that?
ZyratoxxYes, Germans say numbers like that. (It only applies to the tens tho)
Roughly translated you’d say two-and-ninety (without the minus, I just made those so it doesn’t look that cursed)
It’s mainly because at least in German it flows better than ninety two would. There have been pushes to accept ninety two as well but acceptance has been and continues to be scarce.
JummitMan I’d love for that to catch on, mostly so it’s easier to learn. Kids get confused by the order all the time.
Definitely. Up until now I always dictate phone numbers with digits as pairs: like “neun, zwei” instead of “zweiundneunzig”
