अट्ठावन (atthaavan)

numeral The cardinal number fifty-eight (atthaavan).
Sense 1 : the number 58
numeral
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: Like most two-digit Hindi numbers, अट्ठावन (atthaavan) doesn't break down neatly into '50 + 8' the way English 'fifty-eight' does -- it is its own memorized word, a legacy of how Hindi-Urdu numerals evolved historically. Learners preparing for everyday tasks like reading prices, phone numbers, or ages will just need to drill these one by one.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often confuse अट्ठावन (atthaavan, 58) with अड़सठ (adsath, 68) since both start with a similar sound and end in similar-feeling syllables -- there is no shortcut here, Hindi numbers 1-100 mostly have to be memorized individually rather than derived from a pattern like in English.
