ochocientos
When counting in Spanish, numbers combine in logical ways. For hundreds, you’ll mostly see -cientos added to the beginning of the number. For example, doscientos for two hundred or trescientos for three hundred.
However, quinientos (five hundred), setecientos (seven hundred), and novecentos (nine hundred) are irregular. So, while ochocientos follows the general rule, it's good to keep an eye out for these exceptions.
Also, remember that numbers agree in gender with the noun they modify. So, if you're talking about eight hundred houses (casas, feminine), it would be ochocientas casas.
§ What 'ochocientos' means
- Spanish Word
- ochocientos
- Definition
- eight hundred
Alright, let's get straight to it. 'Ochocientos' is the Spanish word for 'eight hundred'. It's a numerical adjective, meaning it describes a quantity. Like other numbers in Spanish, it's pretty straightforward to use once you know the basics.
§ How to use 'ochocientos' in a sentence
The main thing to remember with 'ochocientos' is that it has a masculine and feminine form: 'ochocientos' and 'ochocientas'. This changes depending on the gender of the noun it's referring to. If the noun is masculine, you use 'ochocientos'. If the noun is feminine, you use 'ochocientas'.
Here are some examples:
Hay ochocientos libros en la biblioteca. (There are eight hundred books in the library.)
Compré ochocientas manzanas. (I bought eight hundred apples.)
Notice how 'libros' (books) is masculine, so we use 'ochocientos'. 'Manzanas' (apples) is feminine, so we use 'ochocientas'. This gender agreement is crucial in Spanish.
§ Using 'ochocientos' with other numbers
When you're talking about numbers like eight hundred and one, eight hundred and fifty, and so on, 'ochocientos' usually comes first, followed by the connecting word 'y' (and) if it's a compound number, or directly by the smaller number.
El total es ochocientos dos. (The total is eight hundred two.)
Tenemos ochocientas cincuenta y tres páginas. (We have eight hundred fifty-three pages.)
Just remember to keep the gender agreement with the noun if it applies to the whole number.
§ Common phrases and contexts
You'll often hear 'ochocientos' when talking about:
- Prices:
Cuesta ochocientos euros. (It costs eight hundred euros.)
- Quantities:
Necesitamos ochocientas sillas. (We need eight hundred chairs.)
- Large numbers in general:
La población es de ochocientos mil habitantes. (The population is eight hundred thousand inhabitants.)
Remember, 'ochocientos' behaves like a regular adjective when it comes to agreement. This is a common pattern for numbers ending in -ientos/-ientas.
