Pronunciation and morphology notes
Un million cinq cent mille concatenates without "et" between segments. Note: cent loses its s before mille (cinq cent mille, not cinq cents mille). The de-preposition appears at the noun boundary: un million cinq cent mille euros (no de inside, no de at end either because mille is a determiner).
