Ojo, a partir de treinta sí se escriben con tres palabras: treinta y uno, treinta y dos, treinta y tres...fuente Word reference-malakatronis,senior member


It seems that the way I wrote "docientos veinte y dos " went out of fashion back in the '50es Which means I am no spring rooster.

You know it is not common usage,but you can actually say docientos veinte y dos and you would be correct. Your school teacher may be none too happy but it is correct usage.I know,Iknow people are going to disagree with me, but such is life-"ni modo".

I was taught doscientos veinte y dos by a woman from Ecuador. Could it be regional? - Lrtward, Jan 28, 2010
I'll look around for facts to back up my story- I figure some people would disagree. - 00769608, Jan 28, 2010
Wouldn't the Y put a punto 22.2? - icanrideawave, Jan 30, 2010
Well yes, when you are talking dollars and cents per example veinte dos dollares y veinte centavos. - 00769608, Jan 30, 2010
