💡 Grammar Points
Plural Form is Regular
Since the singular form 'euro' ends in a vowel ('o'), you make the plural form 'euros' simply by adding an 's', just like many other Spanish nouns.
The Currency Symbol (€)
In Spanish-speaking contexts, the euro symbol (€) is usually placed after the number, often with a space, such as '10 €', not '€10'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Using the Singular for Plural Amounts
Mistake: "Cuesta veinte euro."
Correction: Cuesta veinte euros. (Always use the plural 'euros' for any amount greater than one.)
⭐ Usage Tips
Saying Cents
For amounts including cents (like 5.50), Spanish speakers often say 'cinco euros con cincuenta céntimos' or just 'cinco con cincuenta'.
