learn_russianOkay, so I've learned that in Russian the number 50, 60, 70, 80 are formed from 5-10, 6-10, 7-10, 8-10, e.g. fifty is pyatdyesyat.
So for the number 90, it's obviously not 9-10. To me, it looks like it could mean 9/10ths of 100 dyevano-sto. Can anyone verify the etymology of 90? THANKS ^__^
