sept cent quatre-vingt-treize mille
Sra (aka Mme)
Sorry about the extra (unnecessary) "et"
I KNOW there is no "et" there and I don't understand how that happened.
To say 793,000 in French, follow these steps:
1. Start with the base number: 793.
2. Divide the number into groups of thousands: 793,000.
3. Express each group of thousands separately, using the French word for thousand, which is "mille."
- The first group of thousands is 793, so we say "sept cent quatre-vingt-treize mille."
- The second group of thousands is zero, so we don't need to mention it.
4. Combine the two groups: "sept cent quatre-vingt-treize mille."
- So, 793,000 is pronounced as "sept cent quatre-vingt-treize mille" in French.
Note that in French, numbers are grouped differently than in English. Instead of saying "seven hundred ninety-three thousand," the French say "seven hundred more than ninety, three thousands."
