Spelling questions for 2016
How is the 2000 component formed?
이천 combines 이 (2) and 천 (1000): 2 × 1000 = 2000. These syllables join without a space inside the four-digit block.
Why is there no 일 before 십?
Within coefficient 2016, 10 is 십. Ordinary Sino-Korean omits 일 before 십, 백 and 천 rather than writing a financial-style explicit one.
Are the zero positions read as 영 inside this number?
No. Only the nonzero place-value components are written in 이천십육. Unoccupied positions and empty groups add no 영; this is a cardinal rather than a digit-by-digit code.
