    So, are we (Czechia) the only ones who use more than one way?

    90+9 (ninety-nine literally) is the formal way to do it, while 9+90 (nine-and-ninety literally) is the informal way. You can easily hear both of the ways used in one sentence.

      Norway as well. 90+9 is the official way, 9+90 is the way from when the Germans occupied the country. Both are still used. The map also says Georgia and Finland also use two variations.

        The Finnish colloquial variation on the map – ysiysi – is “nine nine”
