Questions & Answers about Hanno cento euro.

Why is it just cento instead of un cento for "one hundred"?
In Italian, you do not use the word un (one) before cento. It is simply cento. You only add numbers in front when you reach two hundred (duecento), three hundred (trecento), and so on.
Why doesn't the word euro change to euri for the plural "euros"?
The word euro is invariable in Italian, meaning its ending never changes. You say un euro (one euro) and cento euro (one hundred euros).
Where is the word for "they" in this sentence?
Italian usually drops subject pronouns like loro (they) because the verb form already tells you who is doing the action. Hanno specifically means "they have," so adding loro is not necessary unless you really want to emphasize who has the money.
Is the 'h' in hanno pronounced?
No, the letter 'h' is always silent in Italian. You pronounce hanno exactly like the word anno (which means "year"). The 'h' is just there in writing to tell the two words apart!
