10,000 I know that 10,000 dollars could be 10 grands
100,000 or 100,000 dollars
1,000,000 or 1,000,000 dollars
I'm studying how the native speakers speak the numbers in their daily life instead of written english or on formal occasion.
Like 150 to be ONE FIFTY, instead of one hundred and fifty(this is right ,but people use the former one a lot), or 1,600 will be sixteen hundred instead of one thousand six hundred(this is right too)
I don't know if there is any other cases that they speak in a different way from what taught by the textbooks? |
10: 10 bucks, sawbuck, 10 spot
100: 100 bucks, c-note
1000: thousand bucks, a grand, one g
10,000: ten thousand bucks, 10 grand, 10 g's
100,000: hundred thousand bucks, 100 grand, 100 g's
1,000,000: million bucks, a mill
