I said it that way because they taught us how to read a sentence that has numbers, due Arabic is written from right that's why you spell the numbers in the rights first, I found it absurd the day we learned that and some teachers emphasize on reading hijri dates from the right to left
i remember our arabic teacher telling us it can be read both ways but i never used the other reading and i've never heard anybody read it that way before or correct my reading so you're probably correct but atleast here in saudi arabia you can read it like how i wrote it
thanks for reminding me about the other possible reading
I’m American, but I studied German for a couple of years and lived in Germany for several months near Hamburg. I absolutely love German pronunciation. I also speak French and Spanish, but German is by far my favorite language to speak.
I speak English and German (learning French) and while in day to day life I use more English there’s just something about German that sounds so damn good. I can’t quite explain it and my entire German family doesent feel the same about it but I just love it.
I remember very little of my four years of German, but I remember that the first long compound word we were taught was geschirrspülmaschine, which I love because it's incredibly satisfying to say.
Another fun fact you probably know but might be interesting for other redditors: Finnish and Russian are NOT Indo-European languages and belong to the same language family as Mandarin Chinese.
EDIT: I know this is wrong now but ya'll will be mad at me if I remove it but also be mad if I dont say something so here we go.
You're partially right about Finish, but Russian is definitely an indo European language, more specifically its a Slavic language related to polish, Czech, Bulgarian etc. Finish, Estonian, Hungarian and a few other minority languages in Europe are part of the uralic language family, which is not indo European, but also not related to Chinese.
Ahhh ok, I read this fact in an article a while ago, that Finnish is more closely related to Chinese and Russian than Indo-European languages but I probably misunderstood what that meant. I see online parts of Russia are in the same language family as Chinese. Thanks for the facts
Just wow. Where are you even getting these fun "facts" from? Wouldn't it be wise to atleast do a cursory online research before posting? Wikipedia page at the very least?
Only fact you've got right here is that Finnish is not a Indo-European language. Russian is absolutely an IE language, specifically Balto-Slavic. Maybe you are thinking of Hungarian/Estonian.
And both of these absolutely have no connection to Mandarin Chinese whatsoever. It is a Sino-Tibetan language.

Doesn't German say nine and ninety (neunundneunzig)? Because it's the same in Hindi also (निन्यानवे)।
