Numeral

thousand (plural thousands)

1. A numerical value equal to 1,000 = 10 × 100 = 10³

Usage notes

Unlike cardinal numerals such as ten or ninety-nine (where one can say e.g. there were ten men present), the word thousand is a noun like dozen and needs a determiner or another numeral to function as a numeral: one cannot say *there were thousand men present, but must say:

• there were a thousand men / one thousand men / forty-three thousand men present
• one can also speak of the thousand men, several thousand men, or some thousand men who were present
• compare a dozen men / one dozen men / forty-three dozen men, the dozen men, several dozen men, some dozen men

When preceded by a determiner or numeral and followed by of, it can be singular or plural:

• two thousand of the inhabitants died, several thousand of the inhabitants fled
• many thousands of women marched
• "Aragorn should find some two thousands of those that he had gathered to him in the South; but Imrahil should find three and a half thousands; and Éomer five hundreds of the Rohirrim who were unhorsed but themselves warworthy." (J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King)

When followed by of and not preceded by a determiner or numeral, it must be pluralized with -s: thousands of women protested, countless thousands of women voted, not *thousand of women.

Synonyms

• (numerical): a thousand, one thousand
