How to Say 700 in Spanish
Setecientos · noun · seh-teh-SYEHN-tohs
The Spanish word for 700 is 'setecientos' (masculine) or 'setecientas' (feminine). It is an irregular hundred because it does not follow the pattern of simply combining 'siete' (seven) with 'cientos' — instead, it uses the unique form 'setecientos.'
Pronounce 'setecientos' as seh-teh-SYEHN-tohs. The stress falls on the third syllable, and the 'c' before 'i' sounds like 's' in Latin America or 'th' in Spain.
El hotel cuesta setecientos dólares por noche.
The hotel costs seven hundred dollars per night.

Avoid These Mistakes When Using Setecientos
Saying 'sietecientos' instead of 'setecientos'
Incorrect: Son sietecientos euros.
Correct: Son setecientos euros.
The hundreds form of seven is the irregular 'setecientos,' not 'sietecientos.' The root changes from 'siete' to 'sete-' when combined with 'cientos.'
Forgetting gender agreement
Incorrect: Setecientos páginas.
Correct: Setecientas páginas.
'Páginas' is feminine, so the number must use the feminine form 'setecientas' to agree in gender.

Common Questions About 700 in Spanish
- Why is it 'setecientos' and not 'sietecientos'?
- Spanish hundreds have irregular forms for 500, 700, and 900 — 'quinientos,' 'setecientos,' and 'novecientos' — which evolved from Latin and do not simply combine the digit with 'cientos.'
- When does 'setecientos' become 'setecientas'?
- The feminine form 'setecientas' is used before feminine nouns, as in 'setecientas millas' (seven hundred miles) — this gender agreement applies to all Spanish hundreds from 200 onward.
- How do you say numbers like 750 in Spanish?
- Compound numbers add to the hundreds: 750 is 'setecientos cincuenta,' combining 'setecientos' (700) and 'cincuenta' (50) without any connecting word.
