    1. Its SZ, or sharp S. Eszett is how the german pronounciation of SZ would be written out. “Esset” would be used to encourage a group of people to eat a meal.
    2. ß isnt used when you have a pair of s letters next to each other. Its most commonly used if you have long vowels beforehand. See “Trasse” vs “Straße”. Edit: “Phase” has also a long vowel but the “s” is pronounced less sharp…
    3. Dreißig with “z” is wrong. If you cant be bothered to use “ß” on a non-german keyboard just using “ss” is completly fine. Because of the long vowels beforehand compared to zwanzig, vierzig, fünfzig, etc…
    4. Its Sechzig. No "t"s involved.

    You got the number right, though! yay
