In English, we use a decimal point instead of a comma:

€ 8.333333 would be said "eight point three three three three three three euros".

Hi,

I assume you are talikng about decimals. The English custom is to write such numbers with a period (called a 'decimal point') instead of a comma.

Thus -

3.33 Said as 'three point three three'

8.333333 Said as 'eight point three three three three three three'
