Are you saying France is living in some future since they somehow developed a double decimal system?
WTF Denmark…
Yeah Denmark has some real funky ways to say numbers, whenever I’m there I just hand over my money and hope I get the right amount back.
As a French speaker it’s pretty simple when you get used to it

Yeah, as a Dutch speaking person this annoys me. I’m speaking multiple languages and yes, the number thing is easier in most other languages then Dutch. And I have had to pause to get it right after switching languages.
Also. Denmark, you okay?
U.K. ?
Norway used to say 2 + 90,but the national phone company asked the government to change how Norwegians spoke to reduce the amount of wrong numbers dialled. So the government changed the Norwegian language.
I can’t even figure out how that Denmark equation is supposed to work lmao
So, southern Belgium don’t use French system and speaks French?
Learning french in school i thought their Numbers were the stupidist thing ever… then my dad explained me our own Numbers and i realized that i was counting as if i were on a market place in the sekstenstyvendeårhundrede (1600s)
Is Slovenia actually colored correctly?
in Romania we say “fuck you Austria + 2”
Czechs say both 2+90 and 90+2.
Dva a devadesát
Devadesát dva
The weirdest thing for people learning the danish system is the “5-0.5” part. In english you’ll say 4 and a half, we say half 5. It’s the same if you ask for the time.
Denmark, you ok? Are you in need of liberation? Asking for your warm and caring neighbor, Germany.

This explains why [Egon Olsen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdQdB5EB6H0) could never correctly guess how much there would be inside that safe that [he was robbing](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oSkG6bqOwgo).
