To say 2009 in Spanish, you would say doscientos nueve.
In Spanish, the number 2000 is expressed as doscientos, which translates to two hundred. The number 9 is nueve. When combined, you have doscientos (200) followed by nueve (9), making it doscientos nueve.
This pattern is similar for other numbers in the 2000s. For example, 2008 would be doscientos ocho and 2010 would be doscientos diez. Knowing how to break down the components of the number will help you articulate any year effectively in Spanish.
