  • Hi Dear teacher Danny & Bijan

           I'm sorry, I have seen this discussion just now.

           RK's comment is not here now. But, I understood what he meant to say.

           "Lakh/ Lac" is a term in Indian numbering system for "One hundred thousand"

            100,000    =  One lakh

            200,000    =  Two lakhs

            450,000    =  Four lakhs fifty thousand

            And, this term is widely used both in official and other contexts in Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

    Thank you. :)

  • Dear Danny!
    Thank you very much,
  • Dear Bijan! In RK's comment "lack" means that he omited the word "hundred".

    Dear RK!
    First, thank you for your nice comment.
    Second, what does "lac" mean?
    I searched for it in Cambridge Dictionary, but I could not find it.
    Third, because of you said that, you are using as below in your country, where are you from?
    I would like you to be my new friend, but I could not add you. I will be very happy, if you add me as your friend.
    Best wishes and thanks in advance,
    450,000
    Hi, my dear friends! I have read on English Club's grammar, if we want to talk about 450,000 we should say: Four hundred and fifty thousand. Now, her…

    Thanks a lot,
  • Dear Bijan! In American we usually say "four hundred fifty thousand". However, we often leave out the word HUNDRED speaking about 3 digit numbers: 450 - four fifty although it is incorrect. So, if you say "four fifty thousand" in America, you will be understood, but it is incorrect.
