You need to understand larger numbers and prices for the topic of shopping:
Spain uses the euro like many other European countries
In Spanish, the euro sign € comes at the end of the price, and there is a comma instead of a decimal point
Here is a reminder of how to say ‘tens’ numbers in Spanish:
10 | diez |
20 | veinte |
30 | treinta |
40 | cuarenta |
50 | cincuenta |
60 | sesenta |
70 | setenta |
80 | ochenta |
90 | noventa |
100 | cien, ciento |
To say ‘two hundred’, ‘three hundred’, etc., add the number before ‘ciento’ and make it plural, e.g. doscientos, trescientos
500, 700 and 900 are irregular: quinientos, setecientos, novecientos
Higher tier only
These words are only required for Higher tier.
