Pentru numerele de o suta in engleza bitranica se foloseste "and", iar americanii nu folosesc "and":
- Engleza britanica 120 = one hundred and twenty
-
Engleza americana 120 = one hundred twenty
De obicei se separa cifrele din numerele mai mari decat 999 cu virgula (,) (comma). Numaram 3 cifre din dreapta si inseram virgula (in romana se foloseste punctul (.), dar nu e obligatoriu sa fie folosit):
1 , 0 0 0 one thousand (o mie)
1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 one million (un milion)
1 2 , 7 5 0 , 2 0 0 twelve million, seven hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred
Folosim punctul (.) pentru a indica zecimalele si pentru a exprima valorile monetare:
0 . 1 = one tenth or 1/10 (o zecime)
1 . 0 = one
1 , 0 0 0 = one thousand
1 , 5 0 0 . 7 5 = one thousand five hundred and three quarters
$ 1 . 5 0 = one dollar and fifty cents
$ 7 0 0 . 0 0 = seven hundred dollars
£ 3 , 5 0 0 . 0 1 = three thousand five hundred pounds and one penny
Trebuie sa fiti atenti cu virgula si punctul! Majoritatea celorlalte limbi folosesc virgula si punctul exact pe dos.
