Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.In Italian, migliaia is used to describe a quantity that is too large to count easily. For example, if you were talking about the number of people attending a concert, you might say there were migliaia di persone (thousands of people) present. This gives the listener an idea of the scale of the event without having to give an exact number.
The word migliaia can also be used in other contexts, such as when talking about money or distance. For instance, if someone said they had spent migliaia di euro (thousands of euros), it would mean they had spent a lot of money. Similarly, if someone was describing a road trip and said they had driven for migliaia di chilometri (thousands of kilometers), it would indicate that they had traveled a great distance.
It's worth noting that while migliaia is the plural form of migliaio (thousand), it doesn't necessarily refer to exactly 2,000 or more items. Instead, it's used as a general term for any large quantity that is difficult to count precisely.
