What if I say “um” somewhere because I lost my place?
Then it’s your fault for not saying “uh” instead!
that’s one hell of a water bill if you were in the shower counting to one million.
Not if you count using a logarithmic base 10 scale!
Just yell 10! and you’ve counted way further already
When the thoughts get so deep you turn the water off and just stand there.
En, to, tre, fire, fem.
1000000 / 5 = 200000
Here’s the proof that Danish is 200.000 times better than English.
In romanian, it ends at 4. Romanian is 25% better than dutch and 250000 times better than english
250000 times better than english
That’s a very low bar tho
1 more and you learn why Swedish is superior.
Speaking as a fellow Dane, I reject your “touch lips quickly while counting” criteria for language quality, especially since English is much more versatile and universally useful for communication and thus better 😁
Found the american.
I only have to count to 5
fem?
Ja
same, but it’s pet (five)
It applies to any English-speaking country, which makes sense since it’s written in English.
In English*
Yup, I can’t get past 5 in Norwegian.
It’s ‘fem’ in Swedish too, guessing it’s something similar in Norwegian? In Hebrew the first is 5 too (Chamesh/חמש), so that’s an interesting pattern
Yes, it’s ‘fem’ in Norwegian, too…
7 sieben, Bruder
5 fimm, bróðir
Oh shiiit thats trippy!
Unless I do it in my native language, Finnish. Then I’ll only get to three.
Norwegians are supreme in the Nordics. We can count to five.
My lips touch when I say one.
jedem?
dwa?

and how high did OP have to count before he touched somebody else’s lips the first time?
And then they touch for every number until 1 trillion
Nah, definitely happens at 300 with 三百
Edit: in japanese, but I didn’t list my language since OP didn’t bother.
八
Empat
apat (4), lima (5), anim (6), pito (7)…
The lip-touching streak breaks for just one number: walo (8) and another streak starts with siyam (9) all the way to siyamnapu’t-siyam (99) by how two-digit numbers are pronounced. For example: labing-isa (11), walompu’t-walo (88).
(I think) there’s a lip-touching streak that is longer than this: walong daan at siyamnapu (890) to siyam na raan siyamnapu’t siyam na bilyon, siyam na raan siyamnapu’t siyam na milyon, siyam na raan siyamnapu’t siyam na libo, siyam na raan siyamnapu’t siyam (999 999 999 999).
In Chinese yes, in japanese, no (8 would be hachi, 300 is sanbyaku but that n before b is pronounced as m)
Un deux trois… Mille ! In French (France 🇫🇷) 1000 before lips touch.
… Soixante-neuf, septante ! In French (Switzerland 🇨🇭) 70! (in France it’s soixante-dix 😂)
How to say 90 in Swiss French? In French French the (40x2+10) way drives me crazy
Nonante!
And 80 is octante or huitante depending on the region
It is a little simpler than this base20 thing loltechnically, 4x20+10?
they do if u kiss me
They do if you kiss yourself in the mirror, but only on the lips
You can only kiss your lips in the mirror
forget what number you’re on and say, “um”.
