तिरपन (tirpan)

numeral The number fifty-three (53), used for counting and quantities.
Sense 1 : the number 53
numeral
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: Numbers like तिरपन (tirpan) show up constantly in everyday contexts -- prices, ages, bus numbers, phone numbers -- so it is worth drilling the 50s block (इक्यावन, बावन, तिरपन...) as a set rather than in isolation.
Common Mistakes: 1) Hindi numerals from 21 to 99 are mostly irregular and must be memorized individually rather than built compositionally the way English tens-and-units are; तिरपन (tirpan) has no predictable relationship to तीन (tiin, 'three') or पचास (pachaas, 'fifty') that a learner could derive on the fly.
