Usage notes

edit
  • This form is only used in compounds to indicate numbers over ten that end with five, except for 05-ending numbers (such as 105, 2005). This is probably to avoid confusion with năm with the sense "year". For example:
    mười (ten) + năm (five)mười lăm (fifteen)
    mười (ten) + năm (year)mười năm (ten years)
  • The variant nhăm is used in Northern Vietnam in numbers greater than 20.
  • See also nói ngọng.
