Just a note, you wouldn't say yksi-tuhat, as just tuhat already implies "one". So rather tuhatyhdeksänsataaseitsemänkymmentäviisi or as I'd say it out loud, tuhatyheksänsataaseitkytviis.

Ok, fair point. You are correct. Removing it lets us reduce the monster by one point five syllables: vuosi tuhat-yhdeksänsataa-seitsemänkymmentä-viisi
