Numbers over 1000

Numbers over one thousand are formed using the same principle as those over one hundred: 

1000 (ein)tausend
2000 zweitausend
3000 dreitausend
4000 viertausend
5000 fünftausend
6000 sechstausend
7000 siebentausend
8000 achttausend
9000 neuntausend


With large numbers, the thousands come first, then the hundreds, and then the numbers below a hundred. You can write a point after the thousands. 

An example of a number in the thousands: zweitausendneunhundertsechsundsiebzig
