I have a question for the community of native English speakers. What number do you basically use to describe a very large amount of things. 100,1000? For example, in the Russian, we often use "Я сто раз так делал!" или "Я делал так тысячу раз". Maybe you have another expressions. Thanks in advance!

Question

Answer

"A million" is very common.

In some ways, language is losing the sense of precision that it used to have.
(hyperbole is common now)

Sometimes we make new words that are half joking, for example "Kajillion."
This is not a real number, it just represents the idea of an absurdly large amount.

Answer

There are various things you could say “101,” is one number we use, but you could also use “million.”

“There are 101 different ways of approaching this.”

“I can think of a million reasons why I wouldn’t want to do that.”
