Например: 66340224 – double six three four 0 two two four

Хронологические даты

Годы в английском языке обозначаются количественными числительными. Слово year после указанного года не употребляется, но возможно употребление фразы in the year перед указываемым годом. Числительное, обозначающее год, разбивается на две части – сначала произносится число сотен, а затем - число десятков и единиц.

Например: 1995 год – nineteen ninety-nine

в 1995 году – in nineteen ninety-nine = in the year nineteen ninety-nine

1900 год - nineteen hundred

2000 год – twenty hundred = two thousand

2006 год – twenty hundred and six = two thousand and six = twenty 0 six

Даты обозначаются порядковыми числительными.

Н апример: 15 – е мая 1948 года

15^th May, 1948 The fifteenth of May, nineteen forty-eight

May 15^th, 1948 или
