Glad im not the only one that thought that. Messed up everything for me though, couldnt figure out what was wrong, took a lot of time, plus I didnt even start trying 90 because of it.

fifth is trick, but other than that i got all the counting ones (dont know the english term) while i only expected to get first and second ( cause in everyday life you can come across those). But things started rolling because I got third, I got it by guessing what 30 was (a faint memory of the word I guess) apparently troiseme was third, so started adding -ieme after all the numbers haha.

but on the other hand I thought, since 1-10 went well, I would get the multiples of 10 aswell... I failed massively... only thing that came to mind (besides troisieme haha) was quatrevingt and that didnt work..

so mixed result Not too bad. Hey thats weird I got 35, the average is 29 but I only beat 58% (Often when I have like 12 and the average is 11 I beat like 75%)

There is actually, 80 is quatre vingts but after that 81 is quatre vingt un, 82 is quatre vingt deux

There is an s only when you write as 80

but if your add a number (for example 81) you remove the s

+2
Level 80
Aug 14, 2021
can you please accept quatre-vingt without the s since it throws a lot of people off

Level 37

80 = quatre-vingtS

81 = quatre-vingt-un

Can you accept "seconde" for second please. (seconde guerre mondiale, par exemple)
+2
Level 87
Apr 10, 2014
Second should definitely be accepted. The exact rule is that "second" is always correct, while "deuxième" can be used only if there is a "troisième".

It's the opposite, in France it's commonly said that 'deuxième' is correct whether there is a third or not, when 'second' can be used if the list has 2 elements only. Yet the Académie Française states that both can be used in any case, with 'second' being considered more elegant. Therefore if you say Seconde Guerre Mondiale, it actually does not mean you are optimistic, but at least you speak elegantly :)

Sadly, I as a Belgian need it. 60% of the country speaks Dutch (including me) and we have to learn French for 8(!) years at school while in Wallonia, Dutch isn't even mandatory, despite Dutch being the majority language (by far).

perdu, ça s'écrit "quatre-vingts" car c'est littéralement quatre fois vingt, donc il y a plusieurs vingts.

it should also be "UN million" instead of just million. Just as English people say one million instead of million
+4
Level 87
Oct 18, 2014
Absolutely, we never say just "million". The right answer is definitely "un million".
+2
Level ∞
Oct 18, 2014
Okay, un million will work now.
+3
Level 87
Jun 19, 2017
This is still incorrect. The correct answer is "un million".
+1
Level 82
Oct 13, 2020
In English, we never say just million either. Million is therefore million, and A million is un million.

What about accepting "septante" for 70 and "nonante" for 90. That's what is used in Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, some african countries... that's right, everywhere except France indeed ^^. To be fair, "octante" and "huitante" could be accepted for 80 as well since some swiss people use those.

Level 85
Jan 6, 2017
That is certainly not what we use in Canada. I've lived in Canada my whole life, and it's "soixante-dix" and "quatre-vingt dix".
+3
Level 67
May 22, 2017
indeed septante (70), octante (80), nonante (90) should be accepted ..

Bon quiz ! Mais il y a un "s" à "deux-cent" et il manque les traits d'union à l'intérieur des nombres (réforme de l'orthographe de 1990).

Good quiz! But there are some very little mistakes : "deux cent" -> "deux-cents" and "deux mille" -> "deux-mille"

In Canada, everything that comes after cent doesn't have a hyphen anymore. Been that way for 15-20 years, I think.

Les réformes de 1990 n'ont pas vocation à remplacer l'orthographe traditionnelle, simplement à offrir une forme alternative, je connais personne qui dit "ognon" ou "nénufar"

you should add "septante" for 70 and "nonante" for 90 ... and why not even "octante" for 80 as they are used in belgium and switzerland

I am French and there is a s at the end of quatre vingts when there isn't any word after. That's why there is no s in quatre vingt dix.

In deux centS there is a s too when there isn't any word after.

Only got 14. Zero through 10, and 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Learned those so I could listen to the French radio broadcasts of the Montreal Canadiens' Stanley Cup run in 1986. Only way I could follow the games at the time. Always knew the score, which period it was and who had the puck. Oh, and I knew when the announcer yelled, "But!" that somebody had scored. The crowd reaction helped a lot, too. Beat Calgary in 5 games to win the silver chalice!

Why is quatre-vingt plural

Level 62
May 10, 2022
its not. Quatre-Vingts literally translate to four-twenties. That is why the Vingts has an "S" because you are adding more than one twenty.

You should accept septante for 70 and nonante for 90 because it's use in belgium and switzerland.
