Usage Note
Veinticinco is a fused compound — like all numbers from 21 to 29, it is written as one word without y. A common spelling error is to write veinte y cinco (three words), which is incorrect. The number has cultural resonance in los veinticinco años as a milestone birthday and in the phrase veinticinco de diciembre (Christmas Day).
Examples
"Hay veinticinco alumnos en la clase."

There are twenty-five students in the class.
