fifteen [countable noun]
よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse the pronunciation and spelling of 'fifteen' and 'fifty'. 'Fifteen' has the stress on the second syllable (fif-TEEN), while 'fifty' has the stress on the first (FIF-ty). Another common mistake is forgetting the hyphens in compound adjectives like 'a fifteen-year-old girl'.

よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes treat 'fifteen' as an adjective when it stands alone as a number, saying things like *'the fifteen number'* instead of 'the number fifteen'. They also sometimes say *'fifteen years'* when they mean age as a noun, where natural English often uses 'fifteen' alone: 'She is fifteen,' not *'She is fifteen years.'*
