vigésimo

twentieth

adjective bee-HEH-see-moh Rare

Usage Note

Vigésimo is the ordinal for 20th and is esdrújulo (stressed on the antepenultimate syllable). It compounds with other ordinals: vigésimo primero (21st), vigésimo segundo (22nd). In everyday speech, cardinal numbers often replace ordinals above 10th (el capítulo veinte instead of el vigésimo capítulo), so vigésimo sounds formal.

Examples

"Celebraron el vigésimo aniversario de la empresa."

Natural Translation

They celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the company.
