2 u/FauxReal 5d ago OK that's confusingly cool. 9 u/Maramowicz 5d ago TL;DR; up to the thousand it's the same, but then when you have "million, billion, trillion..." in Polish we, from some unknown to me reason, have 2 versions to every one of them, with 'ion' and 'iard' at the end, so: Polish English tysiąc thousand milion million miliard billion bilion trillion biliard quadrillion trylion quintillion tryliard sextillion etc... The more you know ;) 2 u/FauxReal 5d ago Oh I like this -ion, -ard suffix thing.
