The 4½ = ●●●●◖ = [four +] ½fifth is not unique to Danish. In Czech, we say „čtvrt na osm“ (quarter to eight), „půl osmé“ (half of eighth) and „tři čtvrtě na osm“ (¾ to eight) to mean 19:15, 19:30 and 19:45, respectively, so I kinda get it.
Similarly, in German, 🕢=„halb acht“.
Dude their 4 is fire.
German "halb acht" only refers to time tho.
And ninety, halvfems, short for halvfemsindstyve or halv-fem-sinds-tyve, means “fifth half times twenty”, or “four scores plus half of the fifth score” [4½ * 20].
I think the Britons used scores as well for some time.
Yeah, this isn't an excuse.
