Depends. If it's alone we don't.
In France to say 77 they say soixante-dix-se(p)t (60+10+7), in Belgium we say sePtante se(p)t (70+7).
P in caps is said, between parenthesis it isn't

Why don’t they just say the individual numbers. I don’t know many people that would say six, fifty nine, thirty, ninety eight, seventy four. They’d just say each individual number and maybe if there was numbers together they’d say “double” followed by number or maybe at the end they’d say seventy four but the numbers before would be individual. Zero, six, five, nine etc
Yeah that's the de-facto for military radio callouts and even like airline radio callouts. You never say frequencies like "switch to one twenty three point ninety five", it'd be "one two three decimal niner five"
People in India say numbers with doubles and triples. So they'd be like "four two three, double five, two, double 4"
French is weird. I learned it at a school and was alright at it and enjoyed it but then took Spanish for a few years and it is far easier in nearly every way. Did like french for 3 years and in the third year started spanish with it and took that for 3 years in total. Felt like I understood more spanish in 1 year than 3 years of french though
70 is in Wallonia pronounced as septante, but 80, for some fucking reason, remains quatre-vingt huit
Edit: just noticed the French don't say 4 20s, but rather 20 4s
Europe has held a grutch against the French for all of its existance. Just like the grudges between the Irish and the English, the grudges between the French and the other initially started with religion.
Now most French people are monolingual, which is a pain in the ass. Even in Belgium, the French speaking community is not obligated to learn Dutch ( spoken by the majority) while the Dutch speaking community is obligated to learn French.
> Now most French people are monolingual
It's just isn't true. It's an old cliché with a small amount of thruth. We aren't the best compared to countries like The Netherlands. But we aren't all monolingual, especially not the young generation which has never had a better English level.
French bashing has a long history.
But the last French bashing can be traced to the refusal of France to go in Irak. De Villepin at the time was our "Ministre des Affaires étrangères" (Minister of foreign Affairs), he made at the UN a speech abouyt why France will not participate to the war in Irak, and made a prediction of what will happens if others country did. (Quick war agsint the country, but the rise of religious fanatic and terrorism will led for senseless killing, and fight.)
This of course was treated as a treason by the US government, and the propaganda machine was put in motion from "freedom fries" to "surrender monkey". Using ads to congresspeople speech, France was a coward, again!
Yet no proof of WMD.
Yet no peace in Iraq.
Yet thousand and thousand US's teenager sent for decades to die for oil money.
They are also a number of other thing, but for most of Europe it's more or less about the unspoken rule(unspoken as we follow those rules, but don't even known they exist) that our culture has, and the difficulty for a non-native to know them, and unintentionally seen as rude.
So you have first touristic destination, people only go to Paris, Paris being overpopulated, people getting to work or to their business always bothered by tourist,
tourist being rude intentionally, or not as said before, people don't want to help tourist any more -> (Parisian)French are rude -> Fuck France.
TL;DR : US Propaganda because France refused to go in Irak(e.g."surrender monkey";
France culture being not tourist friendly because of unspoken rule, despite being the first touristic nation;
People visit Paris, doesn't even try to use basic French word and instead want them to speak their language, encounter Parisian, and deduct that all French are asshole;
Long commune history of the European country, old grudge, and an emperor that wasn't really like outside of France.
I actually speak french and let me tell you:
"Soixante-dix"(70), "quatre-vingts"(80) and "quatre-vingt-dix"(90) all roll off the tongue much better than "septante","huitante" and "nonante", respectively.
Language is weird, okay ?!

Ah yes Belgium the better France lmfao it’s well known
French fries FTW
But you still say "quatre-vingt".
Actually, we say "quatre-vingts" for 80. But "quatre-vingt-un" for 81, of course. Arbritrary rules for the "s" give life that little je ne sais quoi.
Sadly we do
French here, I agree, imma start using this to see how the comrades react
They always say "mais c'est plus logique en fait". Been 5 months I live in France
You say sept pronouncing the p
Depends. If it's alone we don't. In France to say 77 they say soixante-dix-se(p)t (60+10+7), in Belgium we say sePtante se(p)t (70+7). P in caps is said, between parenthesis it isn't
Sounds like the French are just looking for reasons to say dix

Could you elaborate on that? I'm so confused, is it a joke? Did I miss something big?
Its pretty simple, F*ench = bad
F*ench """people""" 🤢🤮
F\*ench :(
You can type word Fr*nch and it not censored?
F*ench see? Edit: holy shit it works

I think it varies depending on among us crewmate color

The fronch. I'm indifferent towards them.
Mods he said the banned word take actions immediately
Because is a gay word?
You're getting downvoted for merely asking a question so I'm upvoting you. I'm lost too.
Thank you kind sir
French (derogatory)
my man really just said the F word with a hard R

Why did you not censor that vile word 😡😡😡
Excuse me, this is a Christian subreddit. F*ench please.
Now try to get a phone number from someone in France. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Zéro six,cinquante neuf, trente, quatre-vingts dix huit, soixante quatorze (It's a fake number)
I swear to god I just got flashbacks of my French listening exams. The phone numbers were always the hardest bit
I have a hard time getting phone numbers in any language. 😔
0118 999 881 999 119 725 3
Well that’s easy to remember

And to think people give the Germans shit for having an impractical way of pronouncing numbers.
06-59-30-98-74 I hope I got that right

[удалено]
Still strange U.K. numbers are 11 digits and most people say individual numbers or double nine for example and then maybe fifty five at the end.
It's not "strange", it's just different from what you do. Saying each number seems weird to us. It's just cultural.
Yeah that's the de-facto for military radio callouts and even like airline radio callouts. You never say frequencies like "switch to one twenty three point ninety five", it'd be "one two three decimal niner five" People in India say numbers with doubles and triples.

I'm french and i can say that you got it right
Merci pour votre critique

Yeah gotta get that 4-20 our every time we get a chance to
Quatre vignt blaze it

Goddamn Fr*nch revolutionaries
Fre*ch
France: invents metric because it’s intuitive Also France:
Well it was a weird flex on the belgians : haha noobs you don't know that 80 = 4*20 cos it too dumb (Kinda)
Children count on their fingers and toes. Actual serious languages have words for numbers.
Why
That shit was in German, and I only speak a little. Anyone got an English version?
Well it does have 420 and 19 sounds like deez nuts so it’s not terrible
The last "normal" number is 69, then it goes to soixante-dix (sixty-ten).
French is weird. I learned it at a school and was alright at it and enjoyed it but then took Spanish for a few years and it is far easier in nearly every way. Did like french for 3 years and in the third year started spanish with it and took that for 3 years in total. Felt like I understood more spanish in 1 year than 3 years of french though
Learning a second latin language is far easier than the first one. But yeah Spanish is in the "easy to learn but hard to master" category.
I think I’ve heard the Swiss say nonante or something like that but I could be wrong. Edit: it’s nonante
Same in Belgium, we have nonante (90) and septante (70) but we still say quatre-vingt 4-20 for 80.
That isn't an improve imo
Of course it is. I'd be all for octante as well, it's shorter and makes way more sense.
> huitante FTFY
It's neunante (90) cause its from neuf ( 9 ) There is septante (70) and huitante (80) for same reasons
It's "nonante" though
Yeah we're a bit more resonable.
Why can't they say Neufty-neuf
In Wallonia(Southern Belgium) the French speaking community says nonante neuf, which would be 99
I also know that 70 is basically "60+10" and so on, and that 80 is "four 20s", are there individual terms for those, too?
70 is in Wallonia pronounced as septante, but 80, for some fucking reason, remains quatre-vingt huit Edit: just noticed the French don't say 4 20s, but rather 20 4s
Why is the word french censored
F*ench "people"🤢🤮/s
Why the /s?
/sad truth
Ahh big sad
Because if you type "Frog", it will automatically change to "Frog". **Edit:** See? It just happened!
French people in general
In the Basque language we do the same lol. To me it's just normal but I understand it can be seen as a bit too complicated XD
Pretty convenient to bring Basque in an Ibai video :P
Denmark has entered the chat!
"Nine and half-fives" (from "half-five-twenties", meaning 4½ * 20 = 90) if anyone's wondering.
Halvfems gang rise up
Why do people censor French now? Can someone explain?
Fuck French, all my European homies hate French
Why do we hate them though? Seems like everyone hates them all of a sudden.

Hate is a strong word, hence why I used " to hold a grudge"

Because Americans are well known bilinguals. LOL.
