Here are the numbers from 9 to 99 in French (English), focusing on the -9 series:
- 9: Neuf (Nine)
- 19: Dix-neuf (Ten-nine, or Nineteen)
- 29: Vingt-neuf (Twenty-nine)
- 39: Trente-neuf (Thirty-nine)
- 49: Quarante-neuf (Forty-nine)
- 59: Cinquante-neuf (Fifty-nine)
- 69: Soixante-neuf (Sixty-nine)
- 79: Soixante-dix-neuf (Sixty-ten-nine, or Seventy-nine)
- 89: Quatre-vingt-neuf (Four twenties-nine, or Eighty-nine)
- 99: Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (Four twenties-ten-nine, or Ninety-nine)
As mentioned earlier, the French numbering system uses a base-twenty approach, which is reflected in these numbers.
