78 – otteoghalvfjerds (otte-og-halvfjerds) – 8 and (3½ times 20)*.56 – seksoghalvtreds (seks-og-halvtreds) – 6 and (2½ times 20)*.

Let’s go to the next half then (muahaha). If you’ve ever studied German before, you’ll notice that Danish follows the same order, that is, they say “two-twenty” (2 and 20) and not “twenty-two” (20 and 2) as English does, but aside from that little detail the rest is not hard to understand.

34 – fireogtredive (fire-og-tredive) – 4 and 30.

Now, seriously, Danish is a bit like French in the sense that they use a decimal system for most of their numbers (actually, half of them) to suddenly change later. But I warn you, don’t let yourself be fooled by evil Danish! It’s all a wicked lie. Once we’ve all jogged our memory, let’s dive right into today’s languages, shall we? Danish counting systemĭanish has the kind of numerical system which invites you to be overconfident when you first have a look at it. “Oh, this looks fairly easy”, you might think at the beginning.

You might remember from last time that most of the “weird” counting systems in Europe are vigesimal at least in some way, which means that they base their numbers in groups of 20 instead of in groups of 10 like decimal systems do, the so-called “normal” systems, like in English or Spanish. This time we’ll tackle the remaining two languages I had chosen, Danish and Breton.

In that very same post I said I was going to make a second part because otherwise it would have been way too long so…here’s part two! 😀 This makes our cloud-based tools very secure.It’s already been a while, but last summer I wrote a post regarding interesting ways in which some European languages count. Our cloud-based online tools use HTTPS to encrypt your data sent to and downloaded from our cloud infrastructure, and only you have access to your data (unless you have chosen to share it). Sometimes however this is not optimal or possible for tools which for example require high processing power, display maps aware of your current location, or allow you to share data. We work hard to make our tools run locally on your device since avoiding sending data over the internet is more secure. To achieve this we use HTML5 and WebAssembly, a form of code that is run by the browser itself allowing our tools to execute at near-native speed. All the work is done locally by the browser itself, making these tools very fast and secure. Our online tools which execute locally on your device don't need to send your data (your files, your audio or video data, etc.) over the internet. Protecting your privacy is one of our main concerns when developing our tools. We develop secure online tools that are cloud-based or that execute locally on your device.
