Since the Danish numeral system was abolished in 1951, tjue has been the only officially recognized spelling. However, the Danish form tyve is still encountered, especially amongst older people and in formal writing. It is often accompanied by use of the Danish numeral system, where ones are mentioned before tens, e.g. enogtyve (lit. “one-and-twenty”), whereas the current spelling would be tjueen (lit. “twenty-one”).
