Las Fracciones / Fractions

Años
Para las fechas que van después del año 1000, el número se divide en dos números de dos cifras (en el caso
de que el número no termine con dos ceros).
Ejemplo1: 1934 lo dividiríamos en 19 y 34 y se diría nineteen thirty four
Ejemplo2: 1900 al tener dos ceros al final, diremos el 19 por un lado y añadiremos “hundred” (cientos) por
lo que se diría nineteen hundred.
(10-66) – Ten, sixty six (diez, sesenta y seis)

Para las fechas que van después del año 2000, el hecho de que sea fecha no influye y el año se dice igual
que diríamos el número.
Ejemplo1: 2000 se diria Two Thousand (dos mil). 2001 se diría two thousand and one
Ejemplo2: 2012 se diría two thousand and twelve
Se pude decir de dos formas:
1- (20-14) – Twenty Fourteen (veinte catorce)
2- (2014) – Two thousand (and) fourteen (dos mil catorce)
1- (19-64) – nineteen sixty four
1942: nineteen fourty two – 1968: nineteen sixty eight – 2002: two thousand and two – 2003: three thousand
and three – 
1492: fourteen ninety two – 2765: twenty seven sixty five – 1066: teen sixty six – 2006: two thousand and
six.
1989, se lee: Nineteen eighty-nine. 1999, se lee nineteen ninety-nine. 1879, se lee: Eighteen
seventy-nine.
