Brugsmønster:
the fourteenth [noun]
Typisk fejl:
Learners often confuse "fourteen" (14) with "fourteenth" (14th). Use "fourteenth" for order or position (e.g., "the fourteenth page"), not for counting in total. Spelling mistakes like *fourtenth* are also common; remember the order of letters: f-o-u-r-t-e-e-n-t-h.
Synonymer
14th (Numeral form used especially in writing dates, lists, and labels.)

One part when something is cut into 14 equal pieces.
Brugsmønster:
a fourteenth of [something]
Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes say "one over fourteen" in everyday speech, which is understandable but less natural than "one fourteenth" or "a fourteenth." Another mistake is to confuse "fourteen" (the number) with "fourteenth" (the fraction or position).
Synonymer
one fourteenth (More explicit fractional form often used in mathematical or educational contexts.)
Antonymer
fourteen (Refers to the whole count of units, whereas a fourteenth is just one small part of that whole.)
