Listen "Word of the Week: dvanáct – ‘twelve’"
Episode Synopsis
Dvanáct is the number ‘twelve’ in Czech. The dva- bit of the word is the number ‘two’ on its own, while - náct is the part that it shares with the other ‘teen’ numbers: jedenáct (11), třináct (13), čtrnáct (14) and so on. But where does this - náct bit come from? English - teen looks like ten , yet - náct does not much like the Czech for ‘ten’: deset .
