minus-squarePasta Dental@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year agoThe other day I decided I would stop saying quatre-vingt-dix (4, 20, 10 = 90) instead I would say huit-dix-dix (8, 10, 10) or even deux-quarante-dix (2, 40, 10) and shit like that to add some context i forgot about it an hour after
minus-squarewildbus8979@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoWhy not use the existing septante, octante, neunante?
