“Half six” is fraught with peril. One slight misunderstanding and you’ll have Germans and Dutch at your door when you least expect it and a bunch more people an hour later.
Can confirm this caused a lot of confusion for the 6 months i lived in the uk as a dutch person lol. Eventually we just ended up saying the numbers.
And the Danes will think you’re talking about 50
*Puts on glasses* Akchually, that’s only if you’re counting 10’s, since we count 1’s as decimal and 10’s in pairs of snes/snaes (20), hence fifty is half three snes or
3*20-0.5*20 = (3-0.5)*20 = 50.Or if you’re talking 1’s, aka. decimal, you’d just remove the snes part, since common math is in decimal anyway, so half 3 decimal would be
3*1-0.5*1 = 3-0.5 = 2.5.EDIT: Fun fact: 100, aka. “en hundrede/one hundred”, can therefore also be called “fems” or “fem snes/five snaes”. And then there’s the ones who actually say “in twenty” instead of “snes”, so it’d be “fem i tyvende”.

Fascinating.
Also, small thing:
3*1 - 0.5*1 = 3 - 0.5 = 2.5----------------^But you never said which game on the SNES these cheat codes actually for.
Oh no, no game, that’s how you enable the dev tools in retro-future mode. :p
Det ved jeg godt :)
But it’s fun to show that meme off. Danish numbers are wild. My bad danish gets me mistaken numbers all the time
Tænkte det nok x)
It’s just fun to blow some non-Danes’ minds every now and again. <3
So that’s why Duolingo hides numbers from us! (And probably also why Danish people switch to English or German no matter if you start in Danish or not…)
