Swiss german. I could do that, the question is just in which dialect. And since there's no orthography in swiss german, nobody is gonna be able to finish the quiz anyway.
Diez y seis, diez y siete, diez y ocho, and diez y nueve should be accepted. I'm in Spanish 1 and my teacher always writes those numbers like this, even though they could be spelled either way.
As many had already stated, "diez y seis" and the rest are wrong. Saying that it's correct to say "diez y seis" for "dieciséis" it's like saying it's correct to say "six and ten" for "sixteen".
Fluent speaker here. "Diez y nueve" shouldn't be accepted; while it is pronounced like that, it is not the correct way to spell the number and doesn't even mean the same thing. Like others have said, that would be like accepting "ten and nine" on an English quiz. Also, I don't think the way you were taught is common across beginning Spanish classes, I've been a student teacher in a few Spanish classes and no textbooks or instructors I've encountered have done this.
Well you're teacher is writing it incorrectly. I am qualified to teach Spanish and currently live in a Spanish-speaking country. These should not be accepted.
These arguments are so petty and ridiculous. Either should be accepted because, while one is obviously more correct, to say that the other is just wrong when it follows the pattern of every number greater than 29 is being ridiculous. This quiz is meant to test your knowledge on the numbers and "trenta y uno" is definitely correct, so the misconception is easy to understand and be accommodated for.
I am a native Spanish speaker and sorry to disagree.
Diez y séis is gramatically incorrect, you can check it in any grammar or in the Dictionary of the Real Academia de la Lengua (Royal Academy of Language).
The correct writing from numbers from 16 to 29 is in one word. And there is no one term "more correct" than the other. One is correct and the other is not. The same way that thirtyfour is incorrect in proper English
It could be accepted for the purpose of testing the knowledge of Spanish numbers, yeah, why not? But it is gramatically incorrect.
I understand that for the purpose of this quiz those are accepted (following the majority of quizzes on the site where close spellings or answers are permitted). PLEASE note that these are not correct in Spanish, no native speaker uses them. My advice? Learn and use the correct ones ;)
When you're talking about a hundred of something (as opposed to a hundred and twenty-three of something), the word is "cien". Cien casas, cien paletas, cien mil habitantes, but ciento veintitrés casas, doscientos cuarenta paletas, quinientos mil habitantes.
Might be the quiz I did worst on haha, only 3 right ( I believe I might ve gotten a score of 3 once before, but that was with fewer questions)
I kept thinking about the french word and couldnt think of anything else. I knew they were closed, so tried variations, came close but never close enough
