"Elfu hamsini na saba"

Translation: Fifty seven thousand

[dieprinzessin]

How would you say fifty thousand and seven ? 50 007

[DiegoJaviUnlam]

Mambo rafiki! I think the same Swahili phrase can be translated as "57000" and "50007" as well. If not, I would make a report.

And perhaps, an option to avoid confusion is to place the word for "thousand" after the multiplier number, instead of before. Then:

57000 = Hamsini na saba elfu / multiplier number = 57 (hamsini na saba)

50007 = Hamsini elfu na saba / multiplier number = 50 (hamsini)

And combining the two numbers, there would be two forms for the number 57007:

57007 = Elfu hamsini na saba na saba

57007 = Hamsini na saba elfu na saba

Here is a good page to test the numbers (written in digits) for the Swahili translation:

I hope it helps. :)

How to say 1057?

[Buraje]

I would guess: 1057 = "Elfu moja hamsini na saba"
However, I am a learner myself. I have no idea if this is correct, can a native speaker confirm or correct, please?
