Questions & Answers about Il biglietto costa duecento euro.
Why is euro not pluralized to euri in this sentence?
How do you build numbers in the hundreds like duecento?
You simply attach the smaller number to the word cento (hundred) to make a single word. Two (due) plus hundred (cento) becomes duecento. This pattern works for all hundreds, like trecento for 300 or quattrocento for 400.
Since we are talking about multiple hundreds, why doesn't cento change to a plural ending like duecenti?
