Trzynasty

"Trzynasty" is a Polish word that translates to "thirteen" in English. It is a cardinal number that represents the quantity that comes after dwanaście (twelve) and before czternasty (fourteen). In Polish, "trzynasty" is used as an adjective to denote the thirteenth in a sequence, such as "trzynasty dzień miesiąca" meaning the thirteenth day of the month. The number thirteen is significant in various cultures and contexts, often associated with bad luck or misfortune, a phenomenon known as triskaidekaphobia. In mathematics, thirteen is a prime number, which means it has no positive divisors other than one and itself. It is also the atomic number of aluminum on the periodic table. In Polish folklore and literature, the number thirteen is sometimes used to create a sense of mystery or intrigue, as seen in the famous Polish novel "Trzynaście lat" by Antoni Słonimski.
