Definition
六七千 is a number expression meaning 'six or seven thousand', used to give an approximate figure. The pattern X+Y+千 (or X+Y+万, etc.) is common in Chinese for expressing rough estimates — you join two adjacent numbers with 七 to indicate a range. This is not a single word but a fixed phrase; it appears in contexts like prices, distances, populations, and quantities where an exact number isn't needed.
