Are there two ways of saying 1901?

[Prower]

1901 - nineteen hundred one
1901 - nineteen one

Which is the best

Context, please ... is this a number or a year?

It's nineteen oh one, although I suppose you could say nineteen hundred and one (but that would be rare).

Please remember to search first -- we have many previous threads on saying years:

Check post #30 in this thread, for example:
