Yes, Germans say numbers like that. (It only applies to the tens tho)

Roughly translated you'd say two-and-ninety (without the minus, I just made those so it doesn't look that cursed)

It's mainly because at least in German it flows better than ninety two would. There have been pushes to accept ninety two as well but acceptance has been and continues to be scarce.

Tens, but also ten-thousands, ten-millions, ten-billions ... you get the gist.
