    When you have to write down numbers, but the person reading you the numbers speaks slowly 💀

    Them: “Two…”

    Me: “2”

    Them: “… and fifty”

    Me: “… 2 - 52”

    Them: “Six…”

    Me: “6”

    Them: “… and twenty.”

    Me: “6 - 26”

  No, in Danish the “half five” part means the same as “half past 4” on the clock: 4.5.

  Then the part that most people omit nowadays, sindstyvende, means times 20.

  (Half past 4) times 20 = 90.
