Definition
几十万 literally means 'several tens of thousands' and is used to express an indefinite large number around hundreds of thousands. It follows the pattern 几 + 十 + 万 to indicate an approximate quantity. Note that the POS in the source data is incorrectly listed as a measure word; this is a number phrase, not a classifier. The pinyin should be jǐ shí wàn, not jī.
