German numbers are weird because we kinda switch the last two digits.
43 in most languages becomes '40 - 3', but in german you say '3 & 40'.
But we do not pronounce the whole number backwards.
143 in most languages becomes '100 - 40 - 3', in german you say '100 - 3 & 40'.
I like the sense of suspense. Leave l leaves sometimes critical information to the last second!
The concept really is bullshit, and that's coming from a German. For certain kinds of triple digit numbers people sometimes resort to saying the single digits in a row ("drei fünf neun" instead of dreiundertneunundfünfzig). Less misunderstandings, and faster.
And you're trying to tell me that the german language is real?
That word isn't real.
It's spelled dreihundertneunundfünfzig
Look at this:
Dziewięćdziesiąt dziewięć
Listen to it in polish via web. I'm serious, listen to it.
