Usage notes

[edit]
  • In year dates, neunzehnhundert (nineteen hundred) followed by another number is colloquially sometimes contracted to /ˈnɔʏ̯nt͡sɐt/, e.g. neunzehnhundertsechzig (1960) /ˈnɔʏ̯nt͡sɐtˌzɛçt͡sɪç/. The same form in /-t͡sɐt/ is also possible for all other such numbers (like 18.., 17..), but becomes ever rarer the further one moves from the present.
