      *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 ----------------^

        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

          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…)
