tausend
When you're counting in German, tausend means 'thousand'. It's a key number to know. For example, eintausend is one thousand. You can combine it with other numbers too, like zweitausend for two thousand. It's used just like 'thousand' in English for quantities and larger numbers.
When you're dealing with numbers in German, especially larger ones, tausend is quite straightforward. It literally means "thousand." Unlike English, where we sometimes say "a thousand," in German, you generally just use tausend by itself, without an indefinite article.
For example, you'd say "zwei tausend" for "two thousand." When you're writing it out, be aware that German numbers are written as one long word, so zweitausend is correct. It's a common building block for even larger numbers.

§ Don't Say "ein tausend"
This is a common mistake for English speakers. In English, we often say "one thousand." But in German, you just say tausend. It already means "a thousand" or "one thousand." Adding ein in front of it is incorrect.
Falsch: Es kostet ein tausend Euro. (Incorrect: It costs one thousand Euros.)
Richtig: Es kostet tausend Euro. (Correct: It costs a thousand Euros.)
§ Using "und" with larger numbers
When you're dealing with numbers larger than one thousand, like 1,001 or 1,500, pay attention to where you place und (and). In German, und connects the units and tens, not thousands and hundreds.
Eintausendundeins (1,001) - Lit: one thousand and one.
Fünfzehnhundert (1,500) or Tausendfünfhundert (1,500).
Notice that for 1,500, both fünfzehnhundert (fifteen hundred) and tausendfünfhundert (one thousand five hundred) are correct and commonly used.
- Important to remember
- When writing out numbers, compound numbers are generally written as one word in German. For example, tausendundeins (1,001) or tausendfünfhundert (1,500).
§ Using "tausend" with decimals (comma vs. period)
In German, the roles of the comma and period in numbers are swapped compared to English. This can lead to confusion, especially with larger numbers or when dealing with currency.
- In German, a comma (,) is used as the decimal separator.
- A period (.) or space is used as a thousands separator (though often omitted for four-digit numbers like 1234).
Falsch (if you mean one thousand and fifty cents): 1.000,50 Euro
Richtig (one thousand and fifty cents): 1.000,50 Euro or 1.000,50 €
Falsch (if you mean one point five): 1,5
Richtig (one point five): 1,5
§ Plural of "tausend"
The word tausend itself does not change for plural when it's part of a number (e.g., two thousand is zweitausend, not zweitausende). However, it can become a noun, das Tausend (the thousand), and then it has a plural form: die Tausende (the thousands).
Zweitausend Menschen waren da. (Two thousand people were there.)
Die Tausende von Touristen kamen. (The thousands of tourists came.)
The plural form Tausende is used when you're referring to an unspecified large number or a quantity in the thousands, without a specific numeral preceding it. It's often followed by von (of).

Basic use of 'tausend'
Just like in English, 'tausend' means thousand. You use it in the same way to count things or give large numbers. For example, 'eintausend' means one thousand.
Pronunciation of 'tausend'
The 'au' in 'tausend' sounds like the 'ow' in the English word 'cow'. The 's' sounds like a 'z', and the 'd' at the end is often pronounced like a 't'. Try saying 'TOW-zent'.
Writing large numbers with 'tausend'
In German, large numbers are often written with a space or a dot as a thousands separator, not a comma. So, 1.000 or 1 000 is one thousand, not 1,000 as in English.
Using 'tausend' with other numbers
You combine 'tausend' with other numbers to form larger figures. For example, 'zweitausend' is two thousand, and 'dreitausendfünfhundert' is three thousand five hundred.
No plural for 'tausend'
Unlike in English where you can say 'thousands of people', in German, 'tausend' generally doesn't take a plural 's' when used as a numeral. It remains 'tausend'.

You can say 'eintausend' (one thousand) or just 'tausend'. 'Eintausend' emphasizes the one. Both are correct, similar to saying 'a thousand' or 'one thousand' in English.
Watch out for comma vs. dot
Be careful with numbers: German uses a comma for decimals (e.g., 1,5 = 1.5 in English) and a dot or space for thousands separators. This is the opposite of English convention.
Practice counting to 1000
Start by counting in hundreds, then combine them with 'tausend'. For example, 'eintausend', 'eintausendfünfhundert' (1500), 'zweitausend', etc. Repetition is key to memorizing large numbers.
