Numbers Above 100

Level 2

Cent is 100 and mila is 1,000.

How It Works

Large numbers are built from the same words in the same order as in English.

NumberOccitan
100cent
120cent vint
200dos cents
300tres cents
1,000mila
2,000dos mila
1900mila nòu cents

Write dos cents as two words. Mila has no plural, and the noun that follows can be plural: mila personas. For a year, read the thousands first, as in mila nòu cents.

Numbers above a hundred are said without e: cent vint is 120. The numbers from 21 to 99 keep their own pattern (vint-e-un, trenta-cinc), and the Level 1 entry nombres de 20 a 100 covers them.

Examples (4)

  1. Avèm cent libres.

    We have a hundred books.

    Cent names the number of books.

  2. I a mila personas dins la sala.

    There are a thousand people in the room.

    Mila does not change before a plural noun.

  3. Aquel ostal a tres cents ans.

    That house is three hundred years old.

    Cent takes an s after tres.

  4. La vila a dos mila ans.

    The town is two thousand years old.

    Mila stays the same after dos.

Common Mistakes

  • Writing the number as one word.

    Aquel ostal a doscents ans.
    Aquel ostal a dos cents ans.

    Write dos cents as two words, with an s on cents.
