How the numbers work

From 30, the tens end in -tio, which means ten: sextio is 6 tens = 60, and femtio is 50.

Watch the start of the others: trettio (30), fyrtio (40, not fyra), sjuttio (70), åttio (80) and nittio (90). In speech, -tio often sounds like -ti.

20 has a name of its own: tjugo. 100 is hundra and 1000 is tusen.
