That’s about as odd as the danish ”syv og halvfems” which is “seven and half five” meaning “seven and 4.5 twenties”, so 97.

- heikkilevanto 5y agoYes, the "halvfems", "half five", could be translated as "half of the fifth twenty", or even "halfway of the fifth twenty (from the full fourth one)". Luckily it is only numbers 50 to 99 that work that way. 31 is simply "enogtredive", as in "one and three tens". A hundred is "hundred", not "fems", as it could be (five twenties).
