Is 2100 nisen hyaku or nisen yihyaku ? Similarly for 2210, nisen nihyaku juu
or nisen nihyaku yijuu ?

question
numbers
How do I say 2100 and 2210 in terms of the 100 and the 10?
Where are you getting this "yi" sound from? To answer your question, larger
numbers that start with 1 do not require that the "one" be spoken. Similar to
"a hundred" and "a thousand" in English, it can be and usually is omitted. So
1100 would "sen hyaku" (though you could say issen hyaku... but I would not
say issen ippyaku, that just sounds weird...) And there would never be a "one"
in front of "ten" either, so your example 2210 would be "ni sen ni hyaku juu"
