fünfzigsten

fünfzigsten is the German word for "fiftieth". It is an ordinal number, indicating a position in a sequence or order. For example, it can refer to the fiftieth day of a month, the fiftieth anniversary of an event, or the fiftieth person in a line. As an adjective, it is declined according to the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies. When used as a noun, it is capitalized as "der Fünfzigste" (the fiftieth man) or "die Fünfzigste" (the fiftieth woman/thing). In common usage, it often appears in contexts like birthdays ("fünfzigster Geburtstag" - 50th birthday) or anniversaries ("goldene Hochzeit, fünfzigster Hochzeitstag" - golden wedding, 50th wedding anniversary). The number fifty itself is "fünfzig". The ordinal "fünfzigsten" is derived from this cardinal number with the addition of the "-sten" suffix, which is characteristic of German ordinal numbers from twenty onwards.
