Okay, so the other day, I decided to finally learn how to say “eight hundred” in Spanish. It’s one of those things that I always wanted to know but never really put the time into figuring out. I figured it was about time I tackled it.
I started by trying to remember what I knew about Spanish numbers. I knew that one hundred is “cien,” so I thought maybe there was a connection there. I also remembered that numbers like two hundred and three hundred use the word for the number followed by “cientos” like “doscientos” and “trescientos”.
So, with this in mind, I guessed that eight hundred might be “ochocientos”. I’m not sure why. It just seemed to follow the pattern. I said it out loud a few times, and it sounded alright to my ears, but I wasn’t sure if I was right.
- I opened my laptop.
- Then typed “how to say eight hundred in Spanish” into the search bar.
- After that, I clicked on the search button.
Confirmation Time
Boom! The first result confirmed my guess. Eight hundred in Spanish is indeed “ochocientos”. I felt a little surge of accomplishment. It’s funny how these small victories can feel so good.
I spent the next hour or so just practicing saying different numbers in Spanish, focusing on the hundreds. I even tried to make up a few sentences using “ochocientos” just to get a feel for it in context. It was a fun little learning session, and now I can confidently say that I know how to say “eight hundred” in Spanish!
I think I’ll try learning a few more numbers in the future, but for now, I’m pretty happy with this small win. Next time I run across the number 800 I can confidently say “ochocientos” to myself with a smile.
