The hundreds
When you've learnt cien, 100, the rest of the big numbers follow in a fairly regular pattern.
100 cien |
200 doscientos
|
300 trescientos
|
400 cuatrocientos
|
500 quinientos - this is a bit of a tricky one
|
600 seiscientos
|
700 setecientos - a slight change: you drop the i from siete
|
800 ochocientos
|
| 900 novecientos - another slight change: nueve becomes nove |
More than one hundred:
Numbers start with ciento:
101 ciento uno
|
102 ciento dos, etc.
|
| So 123 is ciento veintitrés; and 190 is ciento noventa |
Higher numbers:
201 doscientos uno
|
305 trescientos cinco
|
520 quinientos veinte, etc.
|
When the things you are counting are feminine, there is a feminine form:
| Doscientas botellas Two hundred bottles |
Thousands are even easier:
1.000 mil
|
2.000 dos mil
|
3.000 tres mil
|
| 100.000 cien mil |
Millions are similar to English:
1.000.000 un millón
|
| 5.000.000 cinco millones |
Note, however, that the dot, not the comma, is used to separate the thousands.
