- une poignée (a handfull)
- une dizaine (around 10)
- une douzaine, quainzaine, vingtaine, etc... (around 12, 15, 20, etc ... )
- des centaines (many hundreds)
- des milles et des cents ( many thousands and hundreds )
- des millions et des millions (many millions)
- des centaines de millions (many hundreds of millions)
- you can change "millions" by milliard (billions) or else...
- we say also "des tonnes de" like "tons of" but in a broader sense than just weight measurement
- and probably a lot of other expressions I don't remember right now...
so it seems pretty close to the spanish usage...
in english I like the "gazillion" term, it's so exotic ;)
