Question
Some say it's possible to read 32.1 as тридцать два и одна
it's ok to read 5.6 as пять и шесть?
how about really long numbers such as 1.23456? the formal way "одна целая двадцать три тысяч..." is way too long
Answer
Hi weicangcai,
Yes, you can say 32.1 as тридцать два и одна, but it is correct to say тридцать две целых одна десятая. However, when we speak about person's temperature, we would say тридцать шесть и шесть, тридцать семь и одна, etc.
5.6 is пять целых шесть десятых.
1.23456 is одна целая двадцать три тысячи четыреста пятьдесят шесть десятитысячных.
