Who out here is calling ninety two as two ninety?
Look at the map, dude. German, Dutch, Slovenian, sometimes Norwegian (and Czech). Usually adding “and” between the two numbers.
In Dutch it's tweeënnegentig. Which is three words connected: twee en negentig. Or literally translated: two and ninety.
In Norwegian, the correct way to say it is ninety two, but in daily speech, it's interchangeable with two-and-ninety.
Same in Czech, but the two-and-ninety is not much used.
I thing english also used to do this right? Saying 2 and 90 surely sounds old timey
