invariant plurals (without s) when amending or referring to original legislation but use of regular plurals in documents intended for the general public. In Ireland As the euro was being adopted in Ireland, the Department of Finance decided to use the word euro as both the singular and plural forms of the currency. Some media outlets, including the national broadcaster RTÉ, followed suit. However, euros is also acceptable. The print media still frequently uses "euro" for plural amounts, although use of "euros" is also common. Slang terms: As in the Netherlands, slang terms that were previously applied to punts have been carried over to the euro currency. For example, quid (same in singular and plural), which once referred to an Irish pound (and in the UK still refers to a British pound) is used as a synonym for euro. Also, fiver and tenner, which once referred to five and ten pounds respectively, now refer to five and ten euro either in the sense of the specific €5 and €10 banknotes, or in the broader sense of an equivalent sum of money. In English-speaking countries outside Europe The term euro-cent is sometimes used in countries (such as Australia, Canada, and the United States) which also have "cent" as a currency subdivision, to distinguish them from their local coin. This usage, though unofficial, is mirrored on the coins themselves, which have the words EURO and CENT displayed on the common side. Estonian Finnish The Finnish pronunciation for "euro" is . In Finnish, the form sentti is used for the cent – the letter 'c' is generally not used in Finnish, and nativized Finnish words cannot end in consonant combinations like '-nt', therefore an extra vowel 'i' is added. euro and sentti are declined like many other existing words ending in -o and -i, and sentti displays consonant gradation (genitive euron, sentin). With numerals, the partitive singulars euroa and senttiä are used, e.g., 10 euroa. This is abbreviated 10 €, where the € symbol takes the role of the word euroa (never *€10 or *10€). The colon notation (€:a) must not be used with the partitive of euro when the number is in the nominative. In general, colon notation should be avoided and, for example, one should write euron or euroa instead of €:n or €:a. Plurals (e.g., kymmenet eurot "tens of euros") exist, but they are not used with singular numbers (e.g.,
