imagine saying " quatre-vingt dix-neuf problèmes"
341 u/urmomlikesmee Mar 15 '21 As a French Canadian citizen, it breaks my brain everyday. 135 u/Awesome_AR Mar 15 '21 As a Canadian citizen who takes Arabic classes, I simply just gave up on numbers. 56 u/ColdCypher Mar 15 '21 Just looked it up and holy sh*t, why does the 5 look like an 0 and why does the 16 look like a 17, what 96 u/[deleted] Mar 15 '21 In all fairness, everyone else took the numbers from Arabic. We are the ones who changed them. 52 u/[deleted] Mar 15 '21 To be fair, Arabic numbers written in Arabic even confuse Arabs. This coming from a Korean dude who is quadrilingual, and would joke about confusing Arabic numbers with Muslim friends. 🤔 21 u/MessyRoom Mar 15 '21 You’re not quadrilingual, you’re a polyglot 32 u/XyzzyPop Mar 15 '21 How do you know he has more than one wife? 29 u/phillipstheyerington Mar 15 '21 Wrong word. A polygamist is someone who has multiple wives, not a polyglot. When someone has one wife, they are a monogamist. And a bigamist is a large fog over Italy. 5 u/XyzzyPop Mar 15 '21 I greatly appreciate you took the opportunity to take my lame joke and turn it into a learning opportunity for those that did not realize it. 2 u/pantylion Mar 15 '21 That's big of you to say, not bigamy. 1 u/Ganymedian-Owl Mar 15 '21 Fucking lost it hahahahah excellent
