Ninety is a single word in Armenian

In Armenian, every ten has its own word, with no “four-twenties”.

From 70 to 90, the word is a digit followed by “sun”, which marks the ten: utsun (80) is “eight” plus “sun”.

Innsun is 90: “nine” plus “sun”. Yotanasun is 70, with a linking “a”.

Did you know? Belgian and Swiss French say “nonante” for 90: Armenian, too, has a word of its own.
