Trivia: How do you say “100” in French?
Vingt
Trente
Soixante
Cent
The correct answer is Cent
So why is this answer correct? : In French, the numbers one through 10 are: un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, and dix. Once you hit double digits, French numbers follow a similar pattern to English, where each set of 10 has the same root. For example, “trente” means “30,” and “trente-et-un” is “31,” “trente-deux” is “32,” and so on. This pattern continues through “cent,” the French word for “100.”
