I have no idea how one could find this out.
Yes: Five has four letters. Nine has four letters.
There are no more.
If you meant to ask if there are any more whole numbers with the same number of letters in the name as the number, then the answer is no. It is fairly simple to check - you only have to look at the numbers 0-30 before it becomes clear no other number will fit this pattern.
If you went into fractions like 20.12325 then there will be many numbers where all the letters added would get close but the fraction itself would mean you couldn’t quite reach the exact number as you can’t have fractions of letters.
If you included negative numbers then “minus eleven” has 11 letters. Minus thirteen has 13 letters. It seems to again break down once you go beyond 13, and its dodgy to include negative numbers as you can’t have negative letters.
So, no.
To your first point: zero also has four letters.
Inb4 anyone start saying mean things to eachother. There are a lot of people who have very strong opinions on this.
Btw the people who think it ISN’T can eat shit.
Sigh. Time to introduce real letters that can be negative and fractional.
I don’t know in English, but in Spanish the word for five, Cinco, has five letters.
I was able to come up with a list of similar scenarios for various languages using a simple formula in LibreOffice Calc:
=LEN(A2)=ROW(A2)-1(row 1 being a header row)Language Word Digit Danish To 2 Danish Tre 3 Danish Fire 4 Dutch Vier 4 English Four 4 Finnish Viisi 5 French N/A N/A German Vier 4 Indonesian N/A N/A Italian Tre 3 Norwegian To 2 Norwegian Tre 3 Norwegian Fire 4 Polish N/A N/A Portuguese Cinco 5 Spanish Cinco 5 Swedish Tre 3 Swedish Fyra 4 Turkish Dört 4 In Hungarian, it’s “négy”, but it’s actually only three letters, n, é and gy.
This is a clever solution
二 (pronounced and romanized to “ni”) is 2 in Japanese and has two letters kinda
Same with 三(San)
We getcha but that’s romaji which is a transliteration of the syllable sounds.
Yeah, but saying 一 has one Kanji and is One would be the only candidate and that’s a little boring :p
two to power of four = 16
Beautiful.
Yeah. Fivee. Siiiix. Seeveen. Eeeeight. Niiiiiiine.
-9 (minus nine) kind of works if we’re getting desperate.
“Negative Fifteen” and “Negative Seventeen” also work in the same way
But negative fifteen has 15 letters, not -15
neetfif evitagen has -15 letters, but i dont think its a number
Excellent
Nice. I like.
The number one hundred million sixty six thousand five hundred seventy three has exactly 100,066,537 letters.
Wait a minute…
Flive has flive letters.
How about strokes? 一，二，三 😆
Sorry but whenever I see this symbols only thing I can think of CFT(d-orbital splitting). Because one time I asked my friend about CFT he used this symbols.
was not expecting cft
The fifth letter of “fifth” completes the word.
Remind me of the classic sequence where every number leads to 4.
10 -> 3 -> 5 -> 4
1024 -> 21 -> 9 -> 4
Oh! Now I understand what that other commenter was talking about by ‘matching of letters to the numbers’ or something along those lines.
To
Dammit, I was going to do that one…
Three
sephene
Whatever that is, I’d assume it’s a bad idea to drink it.
No, but cinco has 5, lol.
It’s the only one in English unless you allow things like “The absolute value of -20”.
