Explanation
ห้าสิบ is formed from ห้า (“five”) and สิบ (“ten”) and means 50. It can also be written with Thai numerals as ๕๐. When counting people or objects, the usual pattern is “noun + ห้าสิบ + classifier,” as in นักเรียนห้าสิบคน (“50 students”). With money, time, measurements, and similar units, the unit follows the numeral directly, as in ห้าสิบบาท (“50 baht”) and ห้าสิบนาที (“50 minutes”). It can also stand alone when the item being counted is clear from context.
Usage
It is used whenever the number 50 is needed, including prices, quantities, ages, durations, percentages, and numbers or labels. It is common in both speech and writing.
Caution
Do not confuse สิบห้า (“15”) with ห้าสิบ (“50”); reversing the order changes the number. When counting people or objects, ห้าสิบ is normally followed by the appropriate classifier.
