Etymology

edit

From Proto-Finnic *kakci kümmentä.

Pronunciation

edit
  • (Luutsa, Liivtšülä) IPA(key): /ˈkɑhˌt͡ʃymːed/, [ˈkɑhˌt͡ʃymːed̥]
  • Rhymes: -ymːed̥
  • Hyphenation: kah‧tšüm‧med

Numeral

edit

kahtšümmed

  1. twenty

Inflection

edit

At least the latter part inflects; see tšümme. The only difference is that the nominative singular is kahtšümmed. The initial part may inflect like kahsi in all cases, not inflect at all or exhibit the genitive form in all other forms than the nominative singular; thus the partitive singular may be kahtõtšümmenä, kahõtšümmenä or kahtšümmenä.
