Propreantepenultimate. Fifth to last.
I use penultimate all the time and most people have no idea what I mean! We need to bring back the Latin based words
That means the item right before the last item, right?
Yep. That's actually how we say last and whatnot in Spanish: último is last and penúltimo is 2nd to last
I knew the first three, but not four and five. TIL
Ah so that's why in the Tropico games your assistant was Penultimo! He's the second to the ultimate leader, El Presidente!
Really the only city building series that correctly identifies who directs the construction and destruction of every visible peice of infrastructure or building. And who randomly arrests or frees people for any reason they like :)
Hmm the grammar checks out 👍
