Usage Note

Cinquantenne functions as both a noun and an adjective. As a noun it refers to a person aged fifty or in their fifties; as an adjective it modifies the subject (una donna cinquantenne). The seed marks the gender as feminine, but as an epicene noun it can refer to either sex — gender is determined by the article: un cinquantenne (m), una cinquantenne (f). The plural cinquantenni is the same for both genders.

Examples

"Mia zia è una cinquantenne energica."

Natural Translation

My aunt is an energetic fifty-year-old.
