#PSA: a 🇩🇪 German (🇪🇺 metric?) "billion" is a thousand times more than an English/American unit, btw!
German mode - we use periods, instead of commas:
1 Million = 1.000.000, same-ish word, 1 thousand thousand
next order of magnitude, x1.000:
1 "Milliarde" = 1 billion in English = 1.000 x 1 Million = 1.000.000.000 (3 more zeros)
next order of magnitude, x1.000
1 "Billionen" = trillion in English = 1.000 x 1 "Milliarden" = 1.000.000.000.000 (3 more zeros)
THAT'S BIGGER THAN MY MOM! 🤣
