Hello

I'm particularly interested in Danish numbering system and the way their counting process is perceived and explained. In comments to the video, kokoshneta explains a lot of things about Danish numbers. Especially, I like the idea of the word half origin - halvanden (‘half-second’).

Awesome video! I didn't know a lot of facts. So many interesting numbering systems which I couldn't even imagine. That's pretty hard to sort out in all of them. As hard as with zip codes. I struggle with them pretty often so I use the below site where I can find any I need easily.
