5 何千 Thousands

Part of Speech

Noun

Reading

なんぜん

  • Kyoko(Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi(Tokyo accent, male)

Context Sentences

何千回も、れんしゅうしました。

I’ve practiced thousands of times.

とつぜん、何千ものベーコンがそらからふってきた。

Suddenly, thousands of bacon strips dropped from sky.

巨人攻撃の被害者は、何千人にものぼった。

Victims of the titan attack numbered in the thousands.

Meaning Explanation

What thousand? Could be five thousand, two thousand, or ten thousand, since you're asking. Let's generalize. How do you say all of those amounts at the same time? You say "thousands."

Reading Explanation

This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well. Just take note that 千 is read as ぜん and not せん because of rendaku.
