Usage notes

  • This form is only used in compounds to indicate numbers over ten that end with five, except for 05-ending numbers (such as 105, 2005). This is probably to avoid confusion with năm with the sense "year". For example:
    mười (“ten”) + năm (“five”) → mười lăm (“fifteen”)
    mười (“ten”) + năm (“year”) → mười năm (“ten years”)
  • The variant nhăm is used in Northern Vietnam in numbers greater than 20.
