Not that it really matters in a conceptual cake, but I wonder if the su in this recipe isn't actually un. Still, a delicious episode!

I noticed that when they are initially talking about eggs, the -tane word is used. However, when later the eggs are mentioned again in the sentence 'twelve eggs at home', tane is omitted. Is this intentional, is tane less frequently used in numbers over ten? Or does it genuinely not make any difference?
Justin
Good question! Short answer - it doesn't really matter. There no really significant difference.
Longer answer - when you use tane, there is an additional emphasis placed on the quantity. When we use it for the first time in the dialog, we're listing out amounts of ingredients. It makes sense that the specific quantity is pretty important.
In the second case in the dialog, we're emphasizing the exact quantity less. We've got eggs in the house. There's twelve of them.
Honestly, though, you can use or not use "tane" in either case. There's no big difference.

Justin, I was kind of wanting to try out the recipe. Is it normal that there is no flour in the cake recipe? I'm thinking it's a lot of sugar. Is this just an example to learn or is it a real recipe?
Justin
Haha! I would not recommend making this recipe! :D
