For numbers lower than 200, hundrede is preceded either by et or by nothing, but never by en.For example, 356 is trehundredeseksoghalvtreds ("three-hundred-six-and-fifty"). From 100 to 1000 : (et) hundrede (or hundred), to hundrede, tre hundrede, fire hundrede, fem hundrede, seks hundrede, syv hundrede, otte hundrede, ni hundrede, tusind. Thus, in modern Danish, 52 is usually rendered as tooghalvtreds from the now obsolete tooghalvtredsindstyve, whereas 52nd is either tooghalvtredsende or tooghalvtredsindstyvende. Ordinal numbers may still include the ending sindstyve ("times twenty"), which is no longer included in cardinal numbers.Few Danish people know the etymology of the words for the multiples of ten. For example, the ancient name of seventy, halvfjerdsindstyve, literally means halv-fjerde-sinde-tyve or half-fourth-times-20 and is shortened in modern Danish as halvfjerds. The vigesimal form leads to very long expressions of the numbers, that have been shortened phonetically.Until August 2009, Danish banknotes of 50 DKK were labeled femti kroner and on a cheque (or official document) it is written treti, firti, femti, seksti, syvti, otti and niti to complement the amount written in numbers.
The numbers from 20 to 90 are: toti (literally "two tens"), treti, firti, femti, seksti, syvti, otti, niti. The decimal style "a number times ten" is also commonly used in banking and when relating to other Scandinavian people.From 10 to 100: ti, tyve, tredive, fyrre, halvtreds, tres, halvfjerds, firs, halvfems, hundrede.For example, 75 is femoghalvfjerds, "five-and-half-fourth(-times-twenty)".
Cardinal number fifth power of ten plus#
50 is halvtreds, short for halvtredje-sinds-tyve, "half third times twenty", implying two score plus half of the third score. For example, 60 is tresindstyve (literally tre-sinds-tyve, "three times 20"). This is called the vigesimal system, meaning that 20 (also known in English as the score) is the base unit in counting. 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 are "a number times 20", like the French numerals from 80 through 99.For example, the numbers from 21 to 29 are enogtyve, toogtyve, treogtyve, fireogtyve, femogtyve, seksogtyve, syvogtyve, otteogtyve, niogtyve. Starting from 20 ( tyve), units go before the tens, as in German numbers, separated by og ("and").101 might be pronounced hundredeoget or hundredeogen. So 1 + 1 = 2 might be et plus et er lig med to or en plus en er lig med to (or, less elegantly, en plus et er lig med to or et plus en er lig med to). En and et are interchangeable, when not followed by a power of ten, a noun or a multiple of ten.1 is pronounced en if it is the last digit, and the penultimate digit is non-zero.
