Spelling questions for 2016

Why is тысячи used in the 2000 group?

The coefficient 2 ends in 2 outside 12–14, so the scale noun takes its genitive singular form: две тысячи. This group represents 2 × 1000 = 2000.

Why does the thousand coefficient use две?

Тысяча is feminine. The coefficient 2 therefore ends in две: две тысячи. A standalone 2 would instead be два.

How is the 2 component spelled?

Use две for this component. It is a basic written number form, not a digit-by-digit reading.

How is the 16 component spelled?

Use шестнадцать for this component. It is a basic written number form, not a digit-by-digit reading.

Is 16 split into separate unit and ten words?

No. The teen component is the single word шестнадцать. In coefficient 16 it keeps this form, including before a scale noun; do not replace its ending with a feminine one or two.

Are the zero positions spoken in this number?

No. The construction lists only occupied places and nonzero groups. Zero positions do not add ноль to две тысячи шестнадцать.
