### Hundreds, Thousands, and Millions

To talk about large quantities, you need the base words for hundred, thousand, and million. Like other nouns, these have specific singular and plural forms depending on their gender:

| Number | Singular | Plural |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 100 | o sută | două sute |
| 1,000 | o mie | două mii |
| 1,000,000 | un milion | două milioane |

Notice that **sută** and **mie** are feminine, taking **o** for one and **două** for two. **Milion** is neuter, taking **un** for one and **două** for two.

### The Preposition "de"

In Romanian, when a quantity is 20 or more, you must insert the preposition **de** between the number and the noun. Because 100, 1,000, and 1,000,000 are larger than 20, they require **de**.

{{item:1124954}}

{{item:1124957}}

Additionally, when stating that a sum or debt "is" a certain amount, Romanian uses the structure **este de** (is in the amount of) before the number.

### Dropping "de" for Numbers Ending in 1-19

To build complex large numbers, string them together in order. The **de** rule still applies based on the last two digits of the number. 

{{item:1124967}}

However, if a large number ends in a number from 1 to 19, you **drop** the **de** before the counted noun.

{{item:1124968}}

### Combining Thousands and Millions

When combining large units to say something like "one hundred fifty thousand," the same rule applies to the word **mii** (thousands) itself. Because 150 ends in 50, **mii** gets a **de** in front of it. 

{{item:1124961}}

Similarly, when plural millions are followed by a noun, they take **de** just like any other large number.
