-mila is ONLY used as a suffix, as in: diecimila = ten thousand tremila = three thousand centoventimila = 120 thousand The meaning is mille (one thousand) in numbers greater than 1000. There is not a word like /mila/. Is /mila/ singular or plural? It is always used in a plural context, as /-cento/ is used in words like trecento (300) quattrocentocinquantadue (452) But /cento/ is also a word by itself! Example: a) quanto costa questo quadro? b) Cento euro. (One hundred euros)

"mila" means thousand so for example: 4 mila = 4.000 = 4 thousand

Mila it's the plural of mille. 1000 = mille 2000 = duemila 10000 = diecimila and so on. Ciao Lucia
