🇳🇱 Taalvergelijking

🇬🇧

De getallen tussen tien (10) en twintig (20) zijn in veel talen onregelmatig. Het getal 11 is niet ‘eentien’, ‘onetyone’ of ‘dix-et-un’.

Maar in sommige talen is het wel regelmatig.

Bijvoorbeeld:

11

elf

11

одиннадцать

odinnadcatʹ

een-tien

11

kumi na moja

tien en een
