++Caution:
In Brazil, the use of commas (,) and periods (.) in numbers
is exactly the opposite of what is used in the U.S.. Brazilians use a period
(.) instead of a comma (,) and a comma (,) instead
of a period (.) when expressing numbers as numerals (e.g.1.045,25
not 1,045.25 or R$10,00 not R$ 10.00).
1,008 = mil e
oito (1.008)++
1,234 = mil, duzentos
e
trinta quatro (1.234)++
1,924 = dezenove
mil e trinta quatro (1.924)++
2,000 = dois mil
(2.000)++
200,000 = duzentos
mil (200.000)++
2,000,000
= dois milhões (2.000.000)++
(bilhão, trilhão, etc)
Note: The conjunction
e
is used between each element of any written compound number except where
a period (.) (denoting a fraction)not a comma (,)is
used to separate millions, thousands and hundreds. At these points, the
e
is only used when a single number follows.
