1900 in Korean.

In both English and Dutch you can say the number 1900 as nineteen-hundred. Not only thousand-nine-hundred. In Dutch, I think, it's even more frequently used than in English. Although in both languages one uses one-thousand-nine-hundred too. But in Korean can I say: 십구백 for 1900. Or is only 천구백 correct?

    Only "천구백" is correct.

    1900 = 1000(천) + 900(구백) = 천구백
    2013 = 2000(이천) + 10(십) + 3(삼) = 이천십삼
