Why are French numbers so strange?

Just because you are thinking about French numbers in Chinese.

It is said that French 1- 16 are all independent words, and from 17- 19 are all compound words with addition, such as dix-separate. After that, 20 30 40 50 60 also has a separate word, and 2 1 22 23 are all formed by addition, except that 70-79 is also added on the basis of 60, and 80-99 is a mixture of multiplication and addition.

On the other hand, 1- 10 is a single word in Chinese. From 1 1- 19, it is addition. After 20, you actually multiply first and then add. For example, 25 is 2 times 10 plus 5, but people are often insensitive to the grammatical structure of their mother tongue.

If you look at English again, it will be different.

Every language is formed after many years, and naturally it has its own differences, and there is a grammar after the language. Just accept it, it doesn't make so much sense in grammar.
