Eighteen

/ˌeɪˈtiːn/ number

Definition

The number that comes after seventeen and before nineteen, written as 18.

Etymology

This comes from 'eight' plus 'teen' meaning ten, so it's eight more than ten.

Kelly Says

Eighteen is a really big number! It's like counting all your fingers and toes, then eight more. You might find eighteen blocks in a special building set!
