The numbers 80-89 are pretty easy. All you have to do is say the word for eighty (quatre-vingt) – literally “four twenties” then add the individual numbers until 89 (quatre-vingt neuf). However, it gets tricky again from 90-99 and the same rules for 70-79 apply again. So, for 91 you must say “eighty plus eleven”, or “quatre-vingt onze”. This applies all the way through 99: quatre-vingt (80) plus dix-neuf (19) equals quatre-vingt dix-neuf (99).
