twenty

On-Yomi: ジュウ、ニュウ — Kun-Yomi: にじゅう

Elements:

twenty

Heisig story:

The two tens joined at the bottom by a short line is actually the old character for twenty, which we might as well learn since we need its primitive form. It is written the same as salad, except for the shorter final stroke.

Koohii stories:

1) [stefanot] 24-3-2007(160): A generation is 30, one stroke less is twenty.

2) [Pauline] 29-6-2006(62): Ten plus ten is twenty (see generation (#28 世)).

3) [lifeflaw] 15-3-2009(42): 十 ten (#10 十)、廿 twenty (#1190 廿)、世 generation (#28 世).

4) [mattias] 31-5-2010(14): 十、廿、丗 … Ten, Twenty, Thirty… Japanese is logical as usual.

5) [fagie37] 27-5-2008(9): I'll give you this twenty if you'll give me two tens. I just really got to break this twenty.
