Usage notes

[edit]

This form is not recognized in the official language norm and is treated as a misspelling in schools and official documents.

Tjuende is the more common form of "twentieth" in most Norwegian dialects, but the Danish-influenced tyvende remains in formal use around the capital Oslo.
