Tips

  • 1,000+ are also similar to English, but there are a few things to note
  • The separator is a period or space, rather than a comma
  • Mille does not finish with the letter S
  • When pronouncing a long number, one generally pauses after mille before pronouncing the rest of the figures. The word euro finishes with the letter S when used as a plural, but must be written in lower case.
  • Cent: centimes or cents
