  • It is not so bad. They just have systems based in 20, not 10.

    Thus, 80 is four 20s (same way you would say ‘forty’ that is basically 'four tens").

    So 4.5 x 20 makes sense.also, they dont say the “20”, it is understood.

    Then a second level:

    0.5 you sometimes think “halve one”, and not “halve over cero”.

    Same way, in germanic languages they continue, so 4.5 is indeed "halve five’. See?

    So to say 92, danish they say “two and halve five”.

    Makes sense.
