So after millón we got mil milliones and then Billón. 1.000 Mil 1.000.000 Millón 1.000.000.000 Mil millones 1.000.000.000.000 Un Billón More on reddit.com

May 9, 2023 - What if you wanted to say you had 42,500 of something? You’d just add 500, or quinientos, after 42 mil. All together, 42,500 would come to cuarenta y dos mil quinientos. Remember, you only add y if it’s part of the number 16-99! Otherwise, where we add the word “and” in English, Spanish doesn’t add y!

October 3, 2025 - The main thing with big numbers in Spanish is we don’t change units until we run out of sub-units. Both in English and in Spanish, a million has 6 zeros. Seven zeros is 10 million. Eight zeros is 100 million. But when we add another zero, in English we switch to a billion, while in Spanish we call that a thousand million.

Hi, How do you write short form of "thousand" and "million" in Spanish? For example in English 2 thousand would be 2k and 2 million would be 2m. If there's no common short form, a long one will do. Thanks!
