Just swap vingt for one of these numbers instead: ... Things get a little curlier when you reach 70, where instead of having a word for "70" in itself, you instead say "sixty-ten", as in "sixty plus ten". ... And then when you want to say "seventy one" you actually say "sixty eleven", and so on up to 79. ... A little bit strange, right? It gets even stranger. When you get to eighty, instead of having a word for eighty there's a further bit of math involved. French speakers will say quatre-vingts — "four twenties".

HOW TO MASTER FRENCH NUMBERS
I don't know if that's what's bothering you, but for quatre-vingts, forget what the name means. Don't make 4 x 20 in your head, you'll mix everything up. Quatre-vingts is 80, that's all. Same for 70 and 90. For the rest... it just takes practice. Everybody struggles with numbers in foreign languages (I'm having a stroke each time I see something like neunhundertneunundneunzig) Edit : thank you for my first reddit award ! More on reddit.com

When should I use a period in numbers?
Yes, thousand separators go between every 3 numbers, just like in English. Both periods and spaces are used as thousand separators, it depends on the house style of any organisation, or personal habits. For example the French tax administration writes numbers as 12 539,26 € while the Belgian one uses 12.539,26 EUR. It's also common for numbers not to be separated in context where you rarely deal with numbers over 4 digits, and for the currency sign to serve as the decimal separator in shop price listings. For example, 1234€69 or 1234€69 for what would be written in English as €1,239.69. More on reddit.com

Why french numbers are so weird
Québec counts the same as the French though. It’s supposedly an influence from Gaulish, a Celtic language once spoken in France before the arrival of the Romans introducing Latin. Celtic languages still count like that today. Sous l'influence des langues pré-indo-européennes, le français conserve des vestiges jusqu'à nos jours, dans les numéraux[4]. Au Moyen Âge, on trouve ainsi les formes vingt et dix (30), deux vingt (40), deux vingt et dix (50), trois vingt (60), etc.[5]. Une ancienne attestation, « VII vinz liverez et IIII », dans les Lois de Guillaume le Conquérant, au xie siècle, peut laisser penser à une origine normande, le système vicésimal se retrouvant aussi en danois. Les linguistes penchent cependant traditionnellement pour un héritage du gaulois, les langues celtiques modernes possédant ou ayant possédé une numération par vingt. Mais les dizaines supérieures à vingt sont en réalité inconnues en gaulois, à l'exception d'une forme, peut-être latinisée, pour « trente », or cette forme n'est pas vicésimale. L'hôpital des Quinze-Vingts, fondé à Paris en 1260, qui accueillait à l'origine trois cents aveugles, témoigne également de cet usage. Dès la fin du Moyen Âge, il est progressivement supplanté par le système décimal - trente, quarante, cinquante, soixante. Mais pour les trois dernières dizaines précédant cent, cette évolution ne s'est pas partout diffusée de la même façon dans la francophonie au cours de l'époque moderne. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Système_vicésimal French did partially switch to decimal except for 70, 80, and 90, which didn’t fully become decimal throughout the French-speaking world for some reason. Hence why the Belgians and Swiss are particular like that. Edit: also this http://monsu.desiderio.free.fr/curiosites/septante.html More on reddit.com

[Survey] French/AZERTY Keyboard Layout: move numbers to the top?
Please respect the standard way with the main function at the bottom and the shift function at the top, for all keys, this is just confusing. Especially > and <. I personally don't care if it's darker, most of the day the LEDs are off to save power and at night, well, LEDs are bright enough. (Although if we are talking keyboards, I reiterate my suggestion of having different behaviour for tap-capslock and hold-capslock+key, as it would be very convenient on 14" laptops without changing the standard use of keyboard. I honestly think it would be giant leap.) More on reddit.com

May 22, 2024 - But in French, there’s more math and less adding to a base word. For example, how you’d say 70 in French is the word for sixty (soixante) plus the word for ten (dix) because 60+10=70, so 70 is soixante-dix. Take a look at all the numbers in French from 1-100.

French Numbers up to 1 Million, with Pronunciation | Lingvist
Note that even though you’re talking about multiple “twenties” from a mathematical perspective, the word “twenty” only needs to be pluralized for the number eighty: quatre-vingts. 5. 91–99 is a mixture of the rules we saw for the 70s and 80s; namely, it uses dashes instead of “et” to form 91 (like 81) and it adds 11–19 to 70 (like the 70s): 91 = quatre-vingt-onze, 92 = quatre-vingt-douze. Congratulations! You’ve reached 100! Why does French seem to have a combination of a Roman base-ten system and a base-20 system like the Celts and Danish?

Once arrived at 89 (quatre-vingt-neuf), they continue counting by keeping ‘quatre-vingt’ (eighty) and adding the numbers from 10 to 19.
