The John Lennon model. People always know what I am talking about when I refer to it as that.

Unfortunately, not in English. The closest would be "six hundred fiftieth". As for 325, i guess it would be "three hundred twenty fifth".

Come on Sheena, you can do better than that, just look at Gil's response! :mrgreen:

You can tell that Gil is a pro as he has no markings under the letters. 8)

Триста двадцать пятый (пятая), gender depending on context. Would that do as an answer?

I voted other because I only say vierduizend, vierduizendeen, vierduizendtwee , vierduizenddrie en vierduizendvier. I am a bass player you know.

[edit] I forgot vierduizendvijf.

I say four thousand one (or three, etc.), but I say three thirty, three sixty, etc. I've never been consistent.
