So, the tips and notes mention that we the preposition “de” with multiples (eg. șaizeci de milioane), but why do we use it here?

    It's for word agreement, because it is a number of tables.

    Thanks, so we can’t say “El are douăzeci mese.“?

      You need de with numbers of things from 20 upwards, not for smaller quantities.
