81 (८९)- एकाशीति (ekāśīti)

How the number 57 is said in different countries:

India: 7+50
China: 5x10+7
Iran: 50+7
Cambodia: 50+5+2
Georgia: 2x20+7+10
 Bhutan: 2x20+10+7

88 - delapan puluh delapan 

We rarely said full sentences like that. We usually said just the number itself. Delapan delapan

89 - Ochenta y nueve

It is clear for me now that eight is delapan. The 88 we would say it in Spanish then ocho ocho (delapan delapan) but we only use such a form when we are trying to give a phone number in a kind of easy way. You know, children and  uneducated people has some difficulties with numbers and just for being sure they catch it we use the digit by digit form. Most used form in radio or TV ads.
