    I mean it only works with nouns that are not ending on vowels and also not every noun works good. But I heard this from people all over Germany. Mostly in a mocking way, like someone was eating too much and complaining about stomach pain:
    “Oh, tut dir der Bauchi weh?”

    Other commonly used examples I can think of:

    • Lurch - Lurchi (amphibian)
    • Frisch - Froschi (frog)
    • Hund - Hundi (dog)
    • Mutter/Vater/Oma/Opa - Mutti/Vati/Omi/Opi (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa)

    In German this literally translates to something like “cute sand man”. Because in German you can just add an " I" at the end of any noun to make it sound cute and small. So “Sandi” can be thought of as a kind of diminutive of the noun “Sand”, similar to “Bauchi” from “Bauch” which is stomach. The correct dimunitve of “Bauch” would be “Bäuchlein” but this refers more to the perceived size of the object.

    Remeber that their lead is really an asshole:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Anselmo#2016_Dimebash_incident

    Anselmo has given some controversial statements about race, skin color and related cultures throughout his life. At a Pantera concert in Montreal in 1995, he gave a speech expressing that “Pantera are not a racist band” and that he and his bandmates had friends “of all colors and all kinds”, but that he had a problem with rap artists “pissing all over white culture”. In another concert, he expressed his disgust with affirmative action, saying “fuck all that Black Power bullshit”.[76]

    Winda Benedetti of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer accused Anselmo of mouthing the words “white power” and making Nazi salutes at Superjoint Ritual’s performance at Ozzfest on July 27, 2004.[77][78] Speaking with Kerrang!, Benedetti alleged that she was seated in the second row, and saw Anselmo lean down and mouth the words towards a crowd of skinheads at the front.[78] Kerrang! was unable to reach Anselmo for comment.[78]

    On January 22, 2016, an intoxicated Anselmo ended the “Dimebash” Dimebag Darrell tribute show by giving a Nazi salute and screaming the words “white power” to the crowd.[79][80][81] The incident was captured by an audience member’s cell phone camera and the video was posted on YouTube. Anselmo later claimed that it was an in-jest reference to drinking white wine

    Wow I never thought about that.

    But it is always like this:

    let there be any base "b"
That can represent a number by the sum of their positional digits:

number = sum(d_i * b ^ i)
   where i is the position index and d_i is the digit at this position. (note: index starts with 0, from the least digit farthest to the right)

    So the (decimal) number 4 in base 4 is then

    1×4¹ + 0×4^0 = 10

    And (decimal) number 8 in base 8 is

    1×8¹ + 0×8^0 = 10

    And 10 in base 10:

    1×10¹ + 0×10^0 = 10
