?jevind L?ngThanks for the "addendum". It's more logical that way, isn't it? So then it's just the Dutch and the Germans with this strange habit. Do you (Swedes) also say twelve thirty or half past twelve(12.30 hrs) or like the Dutch and the Germans: half one?
[snip] But the Norwegians and the Swedes have the same system as the English-speakers. In Swedish "twenty" is "tjugo", "twenty-five" is "tjugofem", "thirty" is "trettio", "thirty-six" is "trettiosex", and so on.
