Entré al principio de la película, pero no me gustó el principio. (I came in at the beginning of the movie, but I didn’t like the beginning)

2 cinco cientos quinientos

► Although we say 200 (doscientos), 300 (trescientos), 400 (cuatrocientos), we use a different type of compound noun for 500 (quinientos). Also, pay attention to 700 (setecientos and not siete …) and 900 (novecientos and not nueve …).
