I think you should note that this is how you SPELL the dates. The pronunciation of some is quite different from the spelling (like sekstende is often seistenne, Syttende is søttenne. All the teen pronunciation do not use the ‘d’ except in very careful usages.
or syttende –> søtne
Thanks Louis. I agree that some of the pronunciation is different than the spelling. Will try to get some good updates to this.
sjuende and tjuende – what is the difference in pronunciation?
Hi Lola,
They are pronounced almost the same. However you can use syvende instead of sjuende to avoid confusion.
