    The concept really is bullshit, and that’s coming from a German. For certain kinds of triple digit numbers people sometimes resort to saying the single digits in a row (“drei fünf neun” instead of dreiundertneunundfünfzig). Less misunderstandings, and faster.

      And you’re trying to tell me that the german language is real?

        Look at this:

        Dziewięćdziesiąt dziewięć

        Listen to it in polish via web. I’m serious, listen to it.
