cem Becomes cento
Exactly 100 is cem — but the moment anything follows, it changes to cento and takes e:
| 100 | cem |
| 101 | cento e um |
| 120 | cento e vinte |
| 150 | cento e cinquenta |
| The coat costs one hundred and twenty euros. | O casaco custa cento e vinte euros. |
| The watch costs one hundred and fifty euros. | O relógio custa cento e cinquenta euros. |
The Hundreds
| 200 | duzentos | 600 | seiscentos |
| 300 | trezentos | 700 | setecentos |
| 400 | quatrocentos | 800 | oitocentos |
| 500 | quinhentos | 900 | novecentos |
Join tens and units with e, exactly as you learned at quarenta e dois: duzentos e trinta, quinhentos e vinte e cinco.
| The flight costs two hundred and thirty euros. | O voo custa duzentos e trinta euros. |
Unlike cem, the hundreds AGREE in gender with what they count: duzentos euros but duzentas casas, trezentas alunas:
| The school has three hundred students. | A escola tem trezentas alunas. |
mil
1000 is mil, and it never changes and never takes um: mil euros, never "um mil". Multiples simply stack the numeral in front: dois mil, nove mil.
| The car costs nine thousand euros. | O carro custa nove mil euros. |
| He has a thousand euros in the bank. | Ele tem mil euros no banco. |
