Listen for the long aa in saat (7), the aspiration at the end of saatH (60), and the r at the end of sat-tar" (70)
I can hear the difference in 70 easily, but I've just been listening to recordings of people saying 7 and 60 for about 10 minutes, and I'm still doing no better than chance when I play one randomly and try to figure out which one they're saying. I can hear the aspiration when I listen to them one after the other, but not when I just hear one.
And I just looked at the words for the rest of the numbers, and wow, it would be a pain to teach place value in Hindi.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Worse than French?

Much worse. In French, it follows the pattern that the word for 48 is the word for 40 followed by the word for 8. 70, 80, and 90 are weird, but still, if you know the word for 80, then you can follow the pattern to get the word for 87. So it's obvious that "forty-eight" or "quarante-huit" is 40+8. Hindi doesn't have that pattern, and the patterns that it does have aren't quite regular enough to be able to use the words to stress that point.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Really? How very interesting. I am terrible with languages, but researching just that one small aspect is intriguing.

Greenway just a few blocks from me. That's the fancy neighborhood we had to drive through a lot.

Lakhs and crores are also fun complications.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I like the fancy Baltimore home too. I see Rebecca is looking for places to move.
I like that dress, Scrappy.
I seem to be in a likable mood tonight. Although that may not translate to the grades I'm giving out.
