undicimila

Undicimila is the Italian cardinal number equal to eleven thousand. It is used to denote the quantity 11,000 and is formed by combining undici, meaning eleven, with mila, meaning thousand.

The standard orthography in modern Italian is undicimila, written as a single word. The construction follows the common pattern for large numbers in Italian, where mille is used for 1,000 and mila (the plural form) appears in compounds like duemila (2,000) and undicimila (11,000). In older or less formal texts, the form undici mila may occasionally be encountered, but undicimila is the prevailing convention.

In usage, undicimila serves to quantify counts, money, populations, distances, and other measurements. For example: La città conta undicimila abitanti. Il premio è di undicimila euro. In mathematical notation, 11,000 can be written as 11 × 10^3 or 1.1 × 10^4.

Undicimila is primarily a numeral term within standard Italian and does not denote a specific historical event, organization, or proper noun by itself. Its relevance lies in linguistic formation and numerical expression, illustrating how Italian combines base numerals with thousand-based units to form larger numbers.
