The tens are formed by adding the word for ten (дзесят, dziesiat) at the end of the digits from fifty to eighty, the other tens being quite irregular: дзе́сяць (dziésiać) [10], два́ццаць (dváccać) [20], тры́ццаць (trýccać) [30], со́рак (sórak) [40], пяцьдзеся́т (piaćdziesiát) [50], шэ́сцьдзесят (šésćdziesiat) [60], се́мдзесят (siémdziesiat) [70], во́семдзесят (vósiemdziesiat) [80], and дзевяно́ста (dzievianósta) [90].
