2020 dos mil veinte ahora es veinte, veinte!
En los programas de noticias ya se escucha con frecuencia una nueva y extraña forma de referirse a los años a partir del 2010, ahora es el veinte diez, y así por el estilo... ¿Qué te parece? A mí no me gusta...

That's certainly not the case in Spain. 2010 is 'dos mil diez', and has always been. If anyone said 'veinte diez', I would immediately think that he's a foreigner, because it's not in our culture.
I do not understand why people say "veinte diez" or "veinte once", but they do. When I have asked why, some people answer: because it is 20 centuries plus ten years.
When we were in the twentieth century it was common to hear: I was born in 59. It is obvious that it was not 1859. So then, indicating the 19 would have been redundant.
So I think nowadays, people are referring to "veinte diez" or so, to indicate the current century (twenty first), or would indicate otherwise.
With more than 400,000,000 spanish speakers in this round world, we will find many variations in the language. Somehow we manage to understand each other.
I personally like 'traditional' but when they have a T-Shirt..... hmmm
Me gusta la nueva forma. Es mucho más sencillo para oído inglés
I wonder if you wanted to say that, dogwood.
In any case, it is not a new form...it is used, as it seems, like all this kind of spanglish, in countries close to the American border...this is not Spanish and I refuse to think it will become a rule.
Se me hace que "el veinte diez" es la forma que usa la gente huevona. Estoy de acuerdo contigo, Antonie. "El veinte mil diez" suena mucho mejor.
I've never heard such a thing (in Spanish). I bet most people in Spain would be lost if they heard that all of a sudden. That is not Spanish! I guess some people with an inferiority complex are trying to be more like the Americans, because otherwise I don't understand it.
Me gusta la nueva forma. Es mucho más sencillo para el altavoz Inglés.
En inglés tal vez sea correcto porque antes del 2000 se decía "nineteen ninety nine" de modo que tiene sentido que sea "twenty twenty". En español se decía "milnovecientos noventa y nueve" por lo que debería contnuar igual y debe ser "dos mil veinte". Existe ya alguna referencia en la RAE que aclare esto?
He oído las dos formas en el radio aquí en California. Prefiero la tradicional - dos mil diez, pero no me importa tanto.
I have heard both ways on the radio here in California. I prefer the traditional - two thousand ten, but I don't care all that much.
In English it was always said that way until 2001 "two thousand and one" now it is "twenty ten"
I've not been in my country (Argentina) for 6 years, but I hear the radio online every day, and I've never heard anyone saying such a thing.
