hundreds

Question

How would I say hundreds, like if I'm buying cigarettes? is it cientos or cien'

Answer 1

Yes, I live in NC. Spanish is my second language.

Answer 2

By plurals (poorly explained on my part), I mean 200, 300, etc., not 100's.

Answer 3

That's cool.
So you live in NC?
Is Spanish your first or second language? You speak quite well in both, so it is hard to tell

Answer 4

You're welcome, Carl.

Answer 5

Ok, thanks.
I learned a new word: ligero (light). I'm trying to learn Spanish, so I'm trying ot learn all the vocabulary.
Thank you Cherry.

Answer 6

Answer 7

oh, ok,
So if I buy a pack of marlboro lights 100's, I ask for marlboro blanco cientos?
Thank you for the help

Answer 8

You are welcome.

Answer 9

y, thank you very much!

Answer 10

Cien is used when the thing being counted measure exactly 100.
Ciento is used when numbers are formed with 100:
Ciento noventa (note lack of y) - One hundred and 90
Cientos is used to form the plural of 100s:
doscientos - two hundred

Answer 11

I believe that would be:
cigarillos de cien centímetros.
