How to Say "twenty-fifth" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “twenty-fifth” is “veinticinco” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

One Single Word
In Spanish, numbers from 21 to 29 are written as one single word. Unlike English, which uses a hyphen (twenty-five), Spanish combines them: 'veinte' + 'y' + 'cinco' becomes 'veinticinco'.
Always the Same
This word doesn't change to match the objects you are counting. It stays 'veinticinco' whether you are talking about men, women, cars, or houses.
Avoiding the 'y'
Mistake: “veinte y cinco”
Correction: veinticinco. While older Spanish used three words, modern Spanish requires you to write numbers in the twenties as one solid word.
