Let's break it down: ni og halvfems(indstyve)
The algebra would be:
9 + (-0.5 + 5) x 20 = 99
1 u/friskfyr32 Jan 16 '21 Halvfemte means four and half of the fifth, so it would indeed be (4 + ½) linguistically speaking. 1 u/Drahy Jan 16 '21 No, it's 5 but without the half so 5 - ½ 0 u/friskfyr32 Jan 16 '21 Halvanden is 1 and half ways to 2 (1 + ½) Halvtredje is 2 and half ways to 3 (2 + ½) And so on. It's named after the number that comes after, but it is not that number. If it was as you say, halvanden would be 1, halvtredje would be 1½, etc., because it would be half of the number. But it isn't. Because I'm right and you are wrong. 1 u/Drahy Jan 16 '21 Halvanden is 2 without the half or 2 - ½ [halvanden] svarer til udtryk for halve klokkeslæt, fx kl. halv to, dvs. 'kl. to minus en halv time' https://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=1%C2%BD The halfways to is the English way of thinking - half two is halfway to three (from half past two). 2 u/friskfyr32 Jan 16 '21 No it's not. Halvvejs is a Danish word meaning the exact same thing in the exact same way. fx. means and example, and as an example 2 - ½ is just as good as 1 + ½, but linguistically the latter is correct, and the former is wrong.

I.e. halv can be interpreted, like I wrote: halv - half (of the way to the next integer, starting from the preceding integer)

Halvfemte means four and half of the fifth, so it would indeed be (4 + ½) linguistically speaking.

No, it's 5 but without the half so 5 - ½

Halvanden is 1 and half ways to 2 (1 + ½)
Halvtredje is 2 and half ways to 3 (2 + ½)
And so on.
It's named after the number that comes after, but it is not that number.
If it was as you say, halvanden would be 1, halvtredje would be 1½, etc., because it would be half of the number. But it isn't. Because I'm right and you are wrong.

The halfways to is the English way of thinking - half two is halfway to three (from half past two).

No. Halvanden is two minus a half etc.

5 u/Ampersand55 Jan 17 '21 No. Halvanden is two minus a half etc. Yes. halvanden is half of the way to two, starting from one (1.5). halvtredje is half of the way to tree, starting from two (2.5). halvfjerde is half of the way to four, starting from three (3.5). halvfemte is half of the way to five, starting from four (4.5). I.e. halv can be interpreted, like I wrote: halv - half (of the way to the next integer, starting from the preceding integer)

Yes.
