BosanskiTwenty-three in Bosnian
dvadeset i tri
dvadeset i tri is how you say twenty-three in Bosnian.
How it's used
The whole system in one word: 23 is just 20 + 3, dvadeset i tri. Every number past twenty is built the same way: tens, then 'i', then the ones.
From the lesson: Numbers 11-100
Age is expressed with 'to have': 'imam trideset godina', I HAVE thirty years. Which, honestly, is how age feels. Composition rule: the teens 11..19 are just the ones with '-naest' bolted on (jedan->jedanaest, tri->trinaest). And past twenty you simply say the tens, then 'i', then the ones: 23 = dvadeset i tri (20 + 3), 47 = četrdeset i sedam. Learn the tens once and every number in between builds itself.
