Danish Numbers

In Danish, there are special words for one and a half, two and a half, three and a half, and so on. The numbers 50, 70, 80, and 90 are derived from counting by scores. And the genitive singular is used with numerals ending in two, three, and four, while the genitive plural is used with numerals ending in five to nine. Danish also has a unique way of expressing the numbers 10 to 90 using a combination of different numerals and words.
