Portuguese (Brasil): 1 (um)
Is this this case in Brasil? In european portuguese your lips don’t touch for um
Yeah, forgot to specify ;P
Nah, definitely happens at 300 with 三百
Edit: in japanese, but I didn’t list my language since OP didn’t bother.
八
Empat
apat (4), lima (5), anim (6), pito (7)…
The lip-touching streak breaks for just one number: walo (8) and another streak starts with siyam (9) all the way to siyamnapu’t-siyam (99) by how two-digit numbers are pronounced. For example: labing-isa (11), walompu’t-walo (88).
(I think) there’s a lip-touching streak that is longer than this: walong daan at siyamnapu (890) to siyam na raan siyamnapu’t siyam na bilyon, siyam na raan siyamnapu’t siyam na milyon, siyam na raan siyamnapu’t siyam na libo, siyam na raan siyamnapu’t siyam (999 999 999 999).
In Chinese yes, in japanese, no (8 would be hachi, 300 is sanbyaku but that n before b is pronounced as m)
In a lot of Indo-European languages you’re stopping right at 5, *pénkʷe. For example Greek (πέντε pénte) and Sanskrit (पञ्चन् páñcan).
Three, two, one, zero, minus one.

closed lip W sound
Did you mean M?
Can’t count to “mun” without putting your lips together

Twelve kinda makes mine touch
What if I say “um” somewhere because I lost my place?
Then it’s your fault for not saying “uh” instead!
that’s one hell of a water bill if you were in the shower counting to one million.
Not if you count using a logarithmic base 10 scale!
Just yell 10! and you’ve counted way further already
When the thoughts get so deep you turn the water off and just stand there.
In English*
Yup, I can’t get past 5 in Norwegian.
I got to three ín Hungarian.
It’s ‘fem’ in Swedish too, guessing it’s something similar in Norwegian? In Hebrew the first is 5 too (Chamesh/חמש), so that’s an interesting pattern
Yes, it’s ‘fem’ in Norwegian, too…
En, to, tre, fire, fem.
1000000 / 5 = 200000
Here’s the proof that Danish is 200.000 times better than English.
In romanian, it ends at 4. Romanian is 25% better than dutch and 250000 times better than english
250000 times better than english
That’s a very low bar tho
1 more and you learn why Swedish is superior.
One more and Germans get in on the action. And they get to say sechs (sex) right before.
As long as you have that ridiculous “to og en halvfjers” counting system, you do not have a superior system 😉
Haha! Yeah truth be told, our number system is completely stupid 😂
Besides the number system you got most things under control in Denmark.
You also have one of the greatest shows, Klovn 😂
Well thank you! Although I find Klovn to be too cringe for me, I do agree on the other statement, I feel incredibly lucky to be born here, where even born into unfortunate circumstances, it’s still possible to get a successful life.
I have watched every episode, it’s hilarious. Episodes ranging from them trying “the godfather of drugs” (heroin), to him stealing a wheelchair. I guess it might be too much for some people though, my wife can not watch it for similar reasons.
I feel the same way about being born in Norway. I come from unfortunate circumstances as you call it, and I am doing well. This is thanks to the extensive free education that I have gotten.
Speaking as a fellow Dane, I reject your “touch lips quickly while counting” criteria for language quality, especially since English is much more versatile and universally useful for communication and thus better 😁
they do if u kiss me
They do if you kiss yourself in the mirror, but only on the lips
You can only kiss your lips in the mirror
Wise man once said.
Another thought to disturb restful slumber, especially if you are vain: in a mirror you can kiss yourself only on the lips.
Geez, how many accounts does Neil have here…
Not enough, Lemmy is embarrassingly credulous at times.
Found the american.
I only have to count to 5
fem?
Ja
Don’t laugh at him it’s not nice.
same, but it’s pet (five)
It applies to any English-speaking country, which makes sense since it’s written in English.
I love this! It doesn’t seem like it could possibly be true, but my 30 seconds of testing haven’t debunked it.
7 sieben, Bruder
5 fimm, bróðir
My lips touch when I say one.
jedem?
dwa?

And then they touch for every number until 1 trillion
