We will explain how to write 17 in letters. Frequently there are many doubts when writing this number, because it is made up of a ten (10) and seven (7) units, in other words it is the sum of the number 10 plus the number 7, for this reason Even at the time of writing, many think that the correct form would be “ten and seven” and this does not turn out to be correct or there are also those who proceed to write it together but using the letter Z, from 10 (ten), that is, they write it wrongly like this: seventeen. So then we have that the way this number should be written is joined by the words ten and seven, but the Z should be replaced by the C, and it should be written together as follows: seventeen, in this way we also see that in instead of and we must put i.
This is the next number of sixteen and the predecessor of eighteen.
Examples:
I will be seventeen soon.
I want to read seventeen books this year.
The ticket has a cost of seventeen thousand pesos.

The numbers
The numbers from zero to fifteen must be written as simple words, likewise the hundreds and the thousand, examples: fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, twenty, forty, sixty, eighty, one hundred, three hundred, five hundred, seven hundred, nine hundred, one thousand.
For the numbers that are between sixteen and nineteen, and between twenty-one and twenty-nine, that is, among these we find 17, they must be formed by a union, that is, by a juxtaposition of two cardinal numbers in their simple mode. Examples: seventeen, nineteen, twenty-four, twenty-eight, etc.
From the number 31, its writing is given by a coordination of the cardinal numbers in their simple form, examples: thirty-four, seventy-nine, ninety-three, forty-five, etc.
In an earlier time only the numbers from zero to fifteen were written using a single word, but today this has been extended to the number twenty-nine, this was mainly due to the way they were pronounced, which made them become unitary. also.

In the case of the number 17, as we mentioned, it is written by juxtaposition, which comes from ten and seven, it must be written dieci, that is, we change the Z to a C since we are pluralizing the number, then we change the y to an i, and lastly the same word seven leaving seventeen.
