titusentals

Titusentals is a term of Swedish origin that translates to "tens of thousands". It is used to denote a quantity of items or people in the range of ten thousand and up to ninety-nine thousand. The term is often employed in contexts where a precise number is not necessary or available, but a general order of magnitude is desired. For instance, one might refer to titusentals of people attending a large event or titusentals of dollars in a financial transaction.

The word is formed by combining "titusen" (ten thousand) with the plural ending "-tals", which in this context indicates an indefinite but substantial quantity. It functions similarly to English phrases like "tens of thousands" or "many thousands." The usage of "titusentals" emphasizes a scale that is significantly larger than hundreds or even a few thousand, placing it firmly in the realm of large numbers. It is a common and informal way to express such quantities in everyday Swedish conversation and writing, providing a descriptive alternative to stating an exact figure.
