vierzehn or vierzig?
A classic listening trap: -zehn and -zig sound similar at speaking speed.
- vierzehn = 14, but vierzig = 40
- sechzehn = 16, but sechzig = 60
- achtzehn = 18, but achtzig = 80
Listen for the ending — it changes the price, the platform, the time.
Tip
-zehn = teen (14, 16, 17 …), -zig = ten (40, 60, 70 …). One syllable, big difference.
