Pronunciation note

The consonants at the end of the French numbers cinq, six, huit, and dix are pronounced when at the end of a sentence or in front of a vowel. However, they drop the final sound when followed by a word beginning with a consonant (such as cent, mille, million, mois, or livres). For example, huit is normally pronounced [weet] and huit élèves is [wee tay lehv], but 800 is pronounced [wee sa(n)].
