grands
GRANDZ/ɡɹændz/
- 1Plural of grand.
The showroom displayed several concert grands side by side.
Restorers shipped the antique grands to collectors across the country.
Note
The -s plural belongs mainly to the countable things a grand can be: pianos, as in concert grands, and grandparents or grandchildren. The money sense works differently. After a number the singular usually stays unchanged (five grand, ten grand), so five grands sounds unusual. Add the -s when the word means a piano or a relative, and leave it off when it means a thousand.
