20 - tyve
30 - tredive 40 - fyrre 50 - halvtreds 60 - tres 70 - halvfjerds 80 - first 90 - halvfems Forøvrig: Danish numbers Hva er det some foregår? Jeg har aldri visst at disse tallene har såpass rare navn. Hva kommer det av? Det virker som om 50 betyr mer eller mindre "halv tre" eller noe i den retning. Edited by numerodix on 21 September 2010 at 7:56pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It comes from a number system based on the number 20 (fingers + toes - and a history that reaches back at least to the Babylonians).
for instance the seventieth: den halvfjerdsindstyvende "halvfjerde" = 4 minus ½ = 3.5 "sinds" = times "tyve" = twenty "-ende" marks ordinal numbers so den halvfjerdsindstyvende = 3,5 x 20 = 70 q.e.d. PS: just learn those numbers and forget about their meaning! Edited by Iversen on 21 September 2010 at 11:36pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Fransk har et liknende system for talla mellom åtti og hundre:
80 = quatre-vingts (fire-tjue) 92 = quatre-vingt-douze (fire-tjue-tolv) Litt humor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrGIhrs3HkI&feature=related 1 person has voted this message useful |
