Review Summary

  • 100-900 + tens + units

Erreurs courantes

In Croatian, the number 200 is a single word 'dvjesto', not two separate words.

Wrong: Dva sto pedeset
Correct: Dvjesto pedeset

You do not need the conjunction 'i' (and) between tens and units in numbers.

Wrong: Sto pedeset i pet
Correct: Sto pedeset pet

After numbers ending in 'sto', the noun must be in the genitive plural form.

Wrong: Tristo knjigi
Correct: Tristo knjiga

Questions fréquentes (2)

Yes, both are correct. dvjesto is more common in speech, while dvije stotine is more formal.
This is due to the paucal rule. Numbers ending in 2, 3, 4 require the Genitive Singular case.
