OK some people say Euro some Euros, but what do you call it.

I switch between both, depending on how I feel.

Bloody time travellers!!!!

Mainly just ten euro.

My dad insists that a tenner is ten pounds, or 12.68 in euro.

In a roundabout way, yes!

Hence the choices!

No tenner in there at all, at all!

FunkZ · 11-02-2008 02:29PM

A tenner, ten squids or "I'll give ya the other forty on Monday".

Ten Euro or Tenner. The plural of Euro is not Euros

keen · 11-02-2008 02:39PM

A tenner, ten euro or ten bob.

You might want to double-check that

My understanding is that both euro and euros are correct depending on
what language one is speaking - with euros acceptable in English.
Here's the link from the EU advising usage.

Back OT, it's a tenner.

seanabc · 11-02-2008 02:51PM

The reason that the official plural of Euro is Euro is so that it will be the same in all languages. If you want to say Euros there's nothing wrong with that either. I think Euros is more natural although like most people I'd just call it a tenner too.

GhostInTheRuins · 11-02-2008 02:54PM

Tenner or ten Euro

rubadub · 11-02-2008 02:54PM

Tenner- why is it not in the poll? the OP uses the word himself

If something costs €10 I will sometimes say it costs ten quid. My old man hates that insisting "quid" is sterling.

Just checked and it is down as "irish slang" for €

Exactly. Saying something costs 10 euros or 10 euro seems fine to me, saying ten euros note sounds totally wrong.

If you said a pint cost 5 euro it sounds OK, but if you said you spent 100euros in the pub it seems to make more sense to me as you sort of infer it was made over multiple payments.
