I take no complaints on that subject from people who measure in inches, feet and ounces.

🤓 Technically there are septante, octante/huitante, nonante, but it's either considered local to some region (belgium, switzerland, etc) or old-school

Four score and seven years ago...

Nonante does exist in Belgian French!

Quatre vingt dix nuts lol gottem

Tough, though, throw, trough, thorough, through, thought.

Septante, huitante et nonante

I love having to use 4 words to describe the number 99 (cope)

Captain Picard is French so he ought to be in a better position to answer the question than most of us.

Just ask the Danish how to "calculate" their word for 90, and you will consider the French approach simplicistic.

That is a proper base-20 heritage. May you live to six-twenties.

Brother, thats nothing, have you seen their vowels? Vowel chart is insane:

And also they distinguish diphtongs(like ai in pain), hiatus (like saying pain but saying it like "pa" from "papa" and then "in") and even fucking glides so "ai" and "aj" are not the same 💀

Edit: Fixed the image with LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 's help

Did you say four-twenties? 🍁💨😏

Lol wait until you find out about the Danish counting system, truly unhinged.

The celts counted in twenties, none of your roman bs.

Belgians are better at French than the French

Me in high school french:

70: soixante-dix ohhh trippy, 60 10, why not start at 50, that's strange so 80 will be soixante-vingt (60 20) right? ... right?

80: quatre-vingt 4 20's?

but why 60 20 and then 4 20?

"French" does indeed have them, it's just that the French don't use them. Luckily the Belgians do.

So do French stoners just tell each other "80 dude" or "90 everybody" if its a big party?
