In this lesson, we will be going over numbers 200 and above.
Cientos: Hundreds
You have learned in the previous chapter that "cien" is used for 100 and "ciento" is used for 101-199. Numbers starting with 200-900 will use the plural form of "ciento". Note the word "o" in "cientos" can be changed to "cientas" when counting the feminine nouns; but there is no difference when counting only numbers or nouns that are masculine.
| Number | Counting only | Masculine | Feminine |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | doscientos | doscientos | doscientas |
| 300 | trescientos | trescientos | trescientas |
| 400 | cuatrocientos | cuatrocientos | cuatrocientas |
| 500 | quinientos | quinientos | quinientas |
| 600 | seiscientos | seiscientos | seiscientas |
| 700 | setecientos | setecientos | setecientas |
| 800 | ochocientos | ochocientos | ochocientas |
| 900 | novecientos | novecientos | novecientas |
The numbers and their gender agreement with nouns will be highlighted in bold in the chart below.
| Number | Counting only | Counting using masculine nouns | Counting using feminine nouns |
|---|---|---|---|
| 251 | doscientos cincuenta y uno | doscientos cincuenta y un libros | doscientas cincuenta y una plumas |
| 575 | quinientos setenta y cinco | quinientos setenta y cinco libros | quinientas setenta y cinco plumas |
| 762 | setecientos sesenta y dos | setecientos sesenta y dos libros | setecientas sesenta y dos plumas |
| 999 | novecientos noventa y nueve | novecientos noventa y nueve libros | novecientas noventa y nueve plumas |
Miles: Thousands
1.000 mil
2.000 dos mil
5.000 cinco mil
10.000 diez mil
17.000 diecisiete mil
50.000 cincuenta mil
100.000 cien mil
170.000 ciento setenta mil
200.000 doscientos mil
500.000 quinientos mil
900.000 novecientos mil
- Unlike English, in Spanish 1.000-9.999 are not expressed as a pair of two-digit numbers nor do they have teen-hundreds.
Modelo:- 1987 - nineteen eighty-seven: mil novecientos ochenta y siete
- 2500 - twenty-five hundred: dos mil quinientos
- ¡ATENCIÓN! In most Spanish-speaking countries, the period is used (.) instead of comma (,); and a comma (,) instead of a period (.) However, in Mexico, the U.S. system is more common due to strong economic ties with the United States.
- For thousands and beyond, a period is used. Modelo:
- 1.000 - mil
- 10.000 - diez mil
- 100.000 - cien mil
- 1.000.000 - un millón
- For decimals or cents, a comma is used. Modelo:
- US $30,25 - treinta dólares y veinticinco centavos
- US $0,99 - noventa y nueve centavos
Millones: Millions
When counting millions in Spanish, the preposition "de" is used after the million (shown in bold). Look at the chart below. Note that there are no thousands, hundreds, tens nor ones after "millón" or "millones" when using "de".
| Number | Counting Only | Counting Nouns |
|---|---|---|
| 1.000.000 | un millón | un millón de dólares |
| 2.000.000 | dos millones | dos millones de personas |
| 12.000.000 | doce millones | doce millones de carros |
| 100.000.000 | cien millones | cien millones de casas |
| 1.000.000.000 | mil millones | mil millones de estrellas |
Modelo:
- ¿Cuántas personas hay en la ciudad de México, D.F.?
- Hay ocho millones ochocientas cincuenta y cinco mil personas en la ciudad de México D.F. (8.855.000 personas).
- ¿Cuántas personas hay en Madrid, España?
- Hay tres millones doscientas veintitrés mil personas en Madrid, España (3.223.000 personas).
Note that when counting nouns and expressing "hundreds", it needs to agree in gender with the noun used. The examples provided (above) are shown in bold.
