veintiséis

twenty-six

numeral beyn-tee-SEH-ees Rare

Usage Note

Veintiséis is written as one word with an accent on the final syllable. Of the fused numbers 16–29, only dieciséis, veintidós, veintitrés and veintiséis carry a written accent, because they are stressed on a final syllable ending in a vowel or s. Spanish cardinal numbers are invariable for gender except uno/una and the hundreds.

Examples

"Hay veintiséis letras en ese alfabeto."

Natural Translation
