Uh kind of. But when people in English say half of one, they mean the number (1 in this case) divided by 2. Not 0.5 less. So half of 5 is 2.5 not 4.5.
I do feel like if you’re going to use 20 as your base, you should commit to it and say 80+12. If you’re going to include fractions like 0.5, just commit to base 10 and say nine and 2.
It is not so bad. They just have systems based in 20, not 10.
Thus, 80 is four 20s (same way you would say ‘forty’ that is basically 'four tens").
So 4.5 x 20 makes sense.also, they dont say the “20”, it is understood.
Then a second level:
0.5 you sometimes think “halve one”, and not “halve over cero”.
Same way, in germanic languages they continue, so 4.5 is indeed "halve five’. See?
So to say 92, danish they say “two and halve five”.
Makes sense.

But either way it’s kind of cool and unique :)
