kymmentäkymmentä

kymmentäkymmentä is a Finnish word. It is a compound word formed by combining "kymmenen" meaning "ten" and "kymmentä" also meaning "ten". Therefore, kymmentäkymmentä literally translates to "ten tens".

In Finnish numerical systems, kymmentäkymmentä represents the number 100. It functions similarly to how "one hundred" or "a hundred" is used in English. The word is not commonly used in everyday conversation or formal writing, as the more standard and widely recognized term for 100 is "sata".

The usage of "kymmentäkymmentä" is rare and often considered archaic or dialectal. It might appear in older texts or specific regional dialects, but it is not the standard way to express the number one hundred in modern Finnish. When referring to the quantity of 100, speakers and writers overwhelmingly opt for "sata". This preference for "sata" over "kymmentäkymmentä" is due to its simplicity and established usage in contemporary Finnish.
