Down under we use commas...
A million = 1,000,000 So what do we do when there's a decimal involved? |

decimal:
in English 1.273 would be written 1,273 in French. |

A few years ago I bought an French-English /English-French talking dictionary to help me to pronounce the words. It only cost me about $15 but I don't know if they make it anymore. If anybody is interested send me a private message. NERO is very handy for such circumstances.
In the past I've bought a number of these types of dictionaries but this particular one was the only one worth a dang. Last edited by guldebrett; 12-20-2006 at 06:17 AM.. |

I have a somewhat related question...
If you wanted to say (vocally) a number with a decimal in english, you would say: "fifty point two". What's the equivalent in french? |

well, spanish treats that the same way as english does, point = punto so 5.1 = cinco punto uno.
I can't say with any certainty but if there is a direct translation for the word "point" it is probably used the same way as english and spanish. |

It's said like it's written: "virgule" ("comma"). 50,2: "cinquante virgule deux"
