The number 8000 is spelt out as Eight Thousand in English.
8 = Eight
000 = Thousand
When we observe three zeros after a number, it usually means the "Thousand" place in the international numbering system. So, the spelling of 8 thousand is just the word for the number eight and the word for its place value put together.
Note: In 8000 in words English, we do not add an "s" to thousand. We say "Eight Thousand," not "Eight Thousands."
To understand why we write it this way, let’s look at a Place Value Chart. This is a tool that helps us see the "home" of each digit.

We read the number as Eight Thousand since the sole digit that isn't zero is in the thousands place. We would say "Eight Thousand One Hundred" if there was a 1 in the hundreds place (8100)." But for 8000, it stays easy!
Even though it sounds easy, many people make small mistakes when writing 8 thousand in words. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Eight vs. Eigth: Many students forget the "t" in Eight. Always remember: E-I-G-H-T.
Thousand vs. Thoushand: There is no "h" after the "s." It is T-H-O-U-S-A-N-D.
Hyphens: We use hyphens for numbers like "twenty-five," but for a round number like 8000, no hyphen is needed.
You might actually learn how to use 8000 by looking at sentences that employ it. Here are some examples from real life:
Banking: "I need to take $8,000 out of my savings account."
Distance: ""If you measure from a certain base, Mount Kilimanjaro is almost eight thousand meters high."
Quantity: "Eight thousand fans filled the stadium, cheering."
Shopping: "This old motorbike costs exactly eight thousand rupees."
Time: "The civilization flourished nearly eight thousand years ago."

The method we organise higher numbers changes, yet the number 8000 is the same in both systems. But for 8000, the International System says 8,000 (Eight Thousand) and the Indian System says 8,000 (Eight Thousand).
The difference usually starts appearing once we hit 10,000 (Ten Thousand) or 1,00,000 (One Lakh). For our current number, both systems use the same 8 thousand spelling.
