No. 117 in Polish
tysięcy
"Thousands."
In a sentence
Mam na koncie pięć tysięcy złotych.
I have five thousand zlotys in my account.
Here, 'tysięcy' is used in the genitive plural form to complement the number 'pięć', as required by Polish grammar rules.
Uczestniczyło w wydarzeniu około dziesięciu tysięcy ludzi.
Around ten thousand people participated in the event.
In this instance, 'tysięcy' is also in the genitive plural form, applied after the word 'dziesięciu' to describe the quantity of 'ludzi' (people).

The cost of construction amounted to several thousand dollars.
Here, 'tysięcy' matches the noun indicating thousands as a rough quantity (kilkanaście means several between 11 and 19).
