Hola! I was learning how to say numbers in Español and I have known that (190) for example, or any such number is written as "ciento" then the number "noventa", so I knew that: 190= Ciento noventa Then I have just heard that it may be "Noventacientos" Then which one is right now? and if anyone knows if it has 2 forms (new and old spanish)? Gracias smile

First, here are my corrections to your sentences =] :

¡Hola! I am learning how to say numbers in español and I have known was taught that "190", for example, or any such number is written as: "ciento" then the number followed by "noventa", or "ciento noventa". Then I have just Recently, I heard that it may be "190" may also be written as "noventacientos". Then which one is right now? Which, of the two, is correct? and if anyone knows if it has 2 forms (new and old spanish)? Are there two ways to write numbers--perhaps an old way and a new way? Gracias.

(These are all my suggestions on how to improve the grammar and natural flow of your English sentences. As with any language, there are always many options on how to word things and these are just my personal suggestions. =])

Second, the correct way to write the number "190" in Spanish is: "ciento noventa". The correct way to write the number "900" in Spanish is: "novecientos". Perhaps you are mixing up the two?

I hope I was helpful!
