being number fourteen in order
Coming in the place after thirteenth, number 14 in a line or list.
Schema d'uso:
the fourteenth [noun]
Errore comune:
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.
Sinonimi
14th (Numeral form used especially in writing dates, lists, and labels.)
Contrari
thirteenth (Indicates the previous position in order, one before fourteenth.)

The place or thing that is number 14 in a line, list, or date.
Schema d'uso:
[someone/something] finishes fourteenth
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes say "the fourteen of May" instead of "the fourteenth of May" when talking about dates. Use the ordinal form with -th for days of the month. Also, when talking about a race or ranking, say "He finished fourteenth," not *"He finished fourteen."
Sinonimi
14th (Written form commonly used in dates and rankings, such as "14th of March".)
Contrari
first (Represents the top or initial position, opposite to a much lower position like fourteenth.)

one part out of fourteen equal parts
One part when something is cut into 14 equal pieces.
Schema d'uso:
a fourteenth of [something]
Errore comune:
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).
Sinonimi
one fourteenth (More explicit fractional form often used in mathematical or educational contexts.)
Contrari
fourteen (Refers to the whole count of units, whereas a fourteenth is just one small part of that whole.)
