[edit] Numeral

- (cardinal) A numerical value equal to 1,000 = 10 × 100 = 103
- The company earned fifty thousand dollars last month.
- Many thousands of people came to the conference.
[edit] Usage notes
Unlike cardinal numerals up to ninety-nine, the word thousand is a noun like dozen and needs a determiner to function as a numeral.
- a thousand men / one thousand men / the thousand men
- cf. a dozen men / one dozen men / the dozen men
- cf. ten men / the ten men
Thousand can be used also in plurals. It doesn't take -s when preceded by a determiner.
- two thousand men / some thousand men
- thousands of men / dozens of thousands of men
