minus-squareShiroTheSniper@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-210 months agoIn Quebec it’s: 60: 60, 70: 60 10, 71: 60 11, 77: 60 10 7, 78: 60 10 8, 79: 60 10 9, 80: 4 20 (hehe), 81: 4 20 1, 90: 4 20 10, 97: 4 20 10 7, 98: 4 20 10 8, 99: 4 20 10 9

minus-squareADTJ@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoI believe in québécois French they use octante instead of huitante
minus-squaresetVeryLoud(true);@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 months agono, we say soixante, soixante-dix, quatre-vingt, quatre-vingt dix in Quebec :P
minus-squareADTJ@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·10 months agoAh my mistake, I thought you guys were sensible :P
minus-squareSolarMech@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-210 months agoNo, we use quatre-vignt dix (4x20+10), just like the French. If anyone is using octante or huitante, it is not common parlance to say the least.
minus-squareADTJ@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoYou mean quatre-vingt, not quatre-vingt-dix right?
minus-squareFiripu@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·edit-210 months agoNobody says huitante in Belgium. It’s 60, 70, 4*20, 90. edit: Downvote all you want. If you say huitante in Belgium, everyone will know you’re not from Belgium. Belgians say Soixante, Septante, Quatre-vingt, Nonante. Even in the dutch language part, that’s how they learn french. If you say Soixante-dix or Quatre-vingt-dix, everyone will know you’re french and not Belgian. Pretty simple…
minus-squaresetVeryLoud(true);@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·10 months agoInteresting, I always thought huitante was common place there, thanks for correcting me
