German number names... Pronunciation?

Time to find answers to questions that have haunted me since childhood.

So, we all know this:

Is a "Nine Eleven"

So is this:

A "Nine Four Four" or a "Nine Forty Four"

And is this:

A "Three Two Five" or a "Three Twenty Five"

I've heard it all both ways.

Single digit, followed by a double digit. Always.

whatever the shiny happy person behind the wheel calls it.

The only one that really confuses me is if you're supposed to pronounce a certain German Ford as an "exeratty."

So then I've been saying

Wrong my whole life... I am a failure...

I'll just be different for different sake.

It's a ninety-one one.

E-ninety-two

How about 2-double O-2 for BMW 2002.

Neun- elf

Well, the other Porsches were "Nine Twelve" "Nine Fourteen" "Nine Twenty-Eight" and "Nine Sixty-Eight". So I'm gonna go with "Nine Forty Four".

In German they are (respectively):

Neun elf (as stated above) pronounced "noin elf"

Neun vierundvierzig pronounced "noin fear und fearzig"

Drei fuenfundzwanzig pronounced "dry funf und zwanzig" Note: the u in fuenf should have the two dots over it (an umlaut) and is tricky to pronounce. The simplest way to describe it is kind of like "eeewww"- more or less...

I prefer to call it a 0x38f :)

Twenty-oh-two?

Because of the "two thousand two", I will now have to start calling the others "nine hundred eleven" and "nine hundred forty-four. Dammit.

I always say nine forty four, nine fourteen and nine eleven, but strangely I say nine six eight.
