Here we offer you some rules that can help you use complex numbers in Spanish:
- Unlike English, there is not an “y” directly after the number one hundred (ciento in combination with other numbers).
Modelo:
101 (ciento uno)
133 (ciento treinta y tres)
- Ciento is used in combination with numbers from 1 to 99: ciento uno , ciento dos , ciento ochenta , and so on. Cien is used when counting and before numbers greater than 100: cien mil (100.000), cien millones (100.000.000).
- Like we saw in Unidad Introductoria , numbers agree in gender and number with the noun they modify: doscien tos cuadern os , trescient as computador as .
- The word mil (1.000) does not have a plural form in counting. However, the word millón has the plural form millones . When followed directly by a noun, millón (1.000.000) ( dos millones , and so on) must be followed by de .
Modelo:
$3000 –>
tres mil dólares
$20.000.000 –>
veinte millones de habitantes
Dates
When expressing dates, years are never written with a period or a comma. Also, the numbers 200-900 will be masculine and plural to agree with the implied or stated masculine plural noun años. Years must be spelled out ( 1992: mil novecientos noventa y dos) rather than broken into two-digit groups (nineteen ninety-two)
Modelo:
2019 –>
dos mil diecinueve
1876 –>
mil ochocientos setenta y seis
In many parts of the Spanish-speaking world, a period is used when English uses a comma, and a comma is used to indicate the decimal.
