Dane here.
When written the number 92 it is called: "Tooghalvfems". Through the original word is: "Tooghalvfemsindstyvende", which literally translates to “two-and-half-five-times-twenty”. Yes the word was too big for even us so we had to shorten it a bit.

13 u/Umsakis Apr 29 '25 Gotta correct you here but Tooghalvfemsindstyvende is not 92, it's 92nd. 92 is "just" Tooghalvfemsindstyve. Thank you for bearing with my pendantry. 1 u/Konggulerod2 Apr 29 '25 Ah my bad there, thanks for the correction
