November 13, 2019EmeraldPhoenix1Millón is most definitely a number.February 19, 2020mitaine56emerald- wrong millón is a noun, not a number. Take a look in a dictionary. Millón, noun, singular, masculine, a number can’t have a gender. Millones is masculine noun, plural. Cien is an numeral adjective, invariable.February 20, 2020mary914730902I have the same question as Stevencochs: When do you put ‘de’ between the number and the dollars/pesos and when don’t you?July 15, 2019mitaine56mary914730- you use de with millón, it’s not considered like a number. un millón de dólares, cien dólares, treinta dólares.November 13, 2019Cayuga1ThanksNovember 14, 2019PortAlberniThank you. This one puzzled me, too. I read your later reply about ‘million’ being a noun vs. ‘cien’ which is a numeral adjective. I wonder if in English hundred is also more of a noun than a numeral adjective, because we say ‘a hundred’, ‘a million’, ‘a trillion’. Grammar nerds will know.May 12, 2020MaryAnn842321132Why is ” Yo no tengo cien dolares” not accepted?March 21, 2021gwaingankar220Last time, duo wanted it to be translated as un cien dolares , not just cien dolares.
