Digisk Folkspraak numbering rules
Now that you’ve had a gist of the most useful numbers, let’s move to the writing rules for the tens, the compound numbers, and why not the hundreds, the thousands and beyond (if possible).
- Digits from zero to nine are rendered by specific words: nul [0], en [1], twae [2], dre [3], fier [4], femf [5], sex [6], seven [7], acht [8], and nen [9].
- The tens are formed by suffixing the multiplier digit with tig, except for ten: tien [10], twaentig [20], dretig [30], fiertig [40], femftig [50], sextig [60], seventig [70], achttig [80], and nentig [90].
- Eleven and twelve are irregular: elf [11] and twaelf [12]. Teens are formed by suffixing the unit with the word for ten (tien): dretien [13], fiertien [14], femftien [15], sextien [16], seventien [17], achttien [18], and nentien [19].
- Other compound numbers are formed by starting with the unit, then the ten separated with the hyphenized word ond (and) (e.g.: en-ond-twaentig [21], acht-ond-sextig [68]).
