Usage notes

• This abbreviation is not inflected as it is used instead of 1000. specifically to indicate nominative singular. This is necessary to avoid double dots in the end of a sentence, or if there is a possibility of confusion:

  Hän oli 1000:s jonossa. vs. Hän oli 1000. jonossa.

  "He was 1000th in the line." vs. "He was in the 1000th line."

  Hän oli jonossa 1000:s. vs. Hän oli jonossa 1000.

  "He was 1000th in the line." vs. "He was in the line number 1000."
