Pronunciation
Numeral
vijftig
Usage notes
Although spelt with v-, the word is traditionally pronounced with initial /f/ even in accents that generally do not devoice v-. (This is due to analogy with zeventig ["seventy"], which used to have a prefix t- and hence a devoiced z-). However, there are also many speakers who pronounce /v/ in line with the spelling as a hypercorrection.
