Frequently Asked Questions

Is it 'trecientos' or 'trescientos'?

It is 'trescientos'. It combines 'tres' (three) and 'cientos' (hundreds), so you must keep the 's' from 'tres'.

When do I use 'trescientas'?

Use 'trescientas' when you are counting things that are feminine, like 'trescientas casas' (300 houses) or 'trescientas personas' (300 people).

Do I need a comma to write 300 in Spanish?

No. In Spanish, commas are usually used for decimals, and points or spaces are used for thousands. Since 300 is only three digits, you just write it as 300.
