minus-square@lugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink6•1 year agoIt’s a twenty based system. “Two’s” is 40, “three’s” is 60, … 50 is “halfway to 60” so it’s “half three’s”, likewise “half four’s” for 70, “four’s” for 80 and “half five’s” for 90. 100 is its own word so “half five’s” exists but “five’s” doesn’t.
