Definition
五十分 literally means 'fifty minutes' (分 = minute), but it can also refer to 'fifty points' (e.g., on a test) or 'fifty cents' in some regional uses. As a time expression, it's used to specify duration or a point in time on the clock. This row lacks a clear gloss in the source data, so the intended sense should be confirmed.
