How to spell thirty-two
What it means: Being one more than thirty-one.
In a sentence: I have thirty-two colorful crayons in my box.
Same family: thirty, two, thirty-one, thirty-three, thirty-twofold. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: The word “thirty-two” combines “thirty,” from Old English “þrītig” (three tens), and “two,” from Old English “twa.” English writes compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine with a hyphen, which is why “thirty-two” takes a hyphen in standard spelling.
