Numbers
in the French Language |
|
Following is the French for various numbers. If you don't know French, you
may want to print out a copy and put it in your cheque book. If it looks complex
at first, don't worry; you will soon see the pattern and get used to it.
Note that for numbers the meaning of "," and "." is the opposite from the UK.
For example, in the UK one would write "10,000.45" for ten thousand euros and
forty-five cents whereas in France one would write "10.000,45".
