Tutor della CommunityHi everyone!
Today I heard in a film the number 1500 as "fifteen hundreds". I was taught it is "one thousand five hundred". Is it old English? Is it said like this in some cases?
Thanks in advance!

¡Sí es verdad!
Fifteen hundred = 1,500
Eleven hundred = 1,100
Twenty two hundred = 2,200
And so forth . . .
¡Que tengas un buen dia!

It can be either. Fifteen hundred without the s or one thousand five hundred is the same it depends on what you find easier to say.

If you are counting money ($100 bill), so "15 hundreds" .
Secondly, when referring to centuries. The 1500's, referring to the years in Anno Domini.
Not sure of the film's context, but 2 examples.
1500 is fifteen hundred.

It’s interchangeable. In Australia we use them both equally.

That's like "fifteen, O, O", this is so common when it comes to years.
