5th

After the fourth

5th is the ordinal form of five, indicating position number five in a sequence.

It appears in addresses 5th Avenue, dates March 5th, and rankings finished 5th in the race.

The suffix -th converts cardinal numbers to ordinals, with 5th being unusual in that it drops the "ve" from five.

In casual writing, people sometimes use 5th interchangeably with "fifth," though the spelled-out form is preferred in formal contexts.
