Mastering Spanish Number Grammar

Built to handle the unique conjunctions and spelling rules of the Spanish language.

Y

The "Y" Conjunction Rule

Automatically merges numbers 21-29 (veintiuno) and properly adds "y" for 31-99 (treinta y uno) according to RAE guidelines.

Spain & Latin America

Supports the Euro (EUR) for Spain, and currencies like MXN, COP, ARS, CLP, and USD for Latin American countries.

Gender Agreement

Smartly applies masculine and feminine rules for hundreds (e.g., doscientos vs doscientas) based on the currency unit.

Rules for "Números a Letras"

Translating figures to words in Spanish involves several specific grammatical rules to ensure validity in legal documents:

One Word vs. Three Words:

Numbers up to 29 are written as one word. Numbers from 31 to 99 are written as three words, separated by "y" (and).
Example 1: 22 = veintidós (One word)
Example 2: 45 = cuarenta y cinco (Three words)

The "Mil" Rule:

Unlike English (One Thousand), in Spanish, you never say "un mil". It is simply mil.
Example: 1,500 = mil quinientos

Cómo llenar un cheque (How to write a cheque)

Whether you are in Mexico, Colombia, or Spain, here is the standard way to write a cheque to avoid fraud:

  • "La suma de:" On the line where the amount is spelled out, start with a capital letter and write the amount clearly.
  • Centavos as Fractions: Write the cents as a fraction over 100 at the end of the text. For example: Mil doscientos pesos 50/100 M.N. (M.N. stands for Moneda Nacional in Mexico).
  • Use "Moneda Nacional": In Latin America, it is common practice to specify the currency explicitly, usually adding M.N. to indicate the local currency.
