je dirais neuf virgule neuf cinq en général (la densité par exemple)

par contre neuf euro quatre-vingt-quinze (centimes)

[mais je suis pas absolument certaine étant donné que je ne suis pas locuteur natif]

if you're talking about a number in math, you say the first number, then "virgule", then you read out the number after the decimal just like a number before the decimal

so 9,95 -> neuf virgule quatre-vingt-quinze
if it's a price, instead of saying virgule, you insert whatever denomination you're talking about

if it's 9,999995 -> neuf virgule neuf-cent-quatre-vingt-dix-neuf-mille-neuf-cent-quatre-vingt-quinze

(this is the rule in France, I wouldn't be surprised if in Quebec they read out each number individually as that's how they do it in phone numbers)

If it's a decimal number, I personally read out the number after the comma if it's under 3 digits, but idk if this is accepted as correct

I believe the "rule" is true for everyone, but I'm sure even in France if there's a lot of decimals, people will start reading them individually

I would read 9,95 "neuf virgule quatre-vingt-quinze" and 9,999 "neuf virgule neuf neuf neuf"

[mellow sparrow]

ah ok !

[timber epoch]

(although actually I would always read it "neuf point [smth]" even if I write with commas but that's something else)

[mellow sparrow]

tbh, I prefer « . » anyways, but can't make France change lol

[timber epoch]

I write , and read/say . haha
