Numbers above 100
(3rd of 6) |
Ciento is used with numbers from 1-99 to express numbers 101-199: ciento setenta y nueve, etc. Cien is used in counting and before numbers greater than 999: cien mil, cien millones, etc. When numbers 200-900 precede a noun, they agree in gender: trescientas habitaciones, etc. In counting, mil does not have a plural form (tres mil, seis mil) but millón does: dos millones, cinco millones, etc. |
