الخمسة

"The five."

In a sentence

اشتريت الخمسة كتب التي كنت أحتاجها.
I bought the five books I needed.
الخمسة refers to the numeral five modifying the noun كتب (books), making it mean 'the five books'.
كنا الخمسة أصدقاء نجتمع يوم الجمعة.
We, the five friends, used to meet on Fridays.
الخمسة here acts as an appositive clarifying the subject, equivalent to 'the five of us' in English.
الخمسة دقائق التي انتظرتها مرت سريعًا.
The five minutes I waited passed quickly.
الخمسة describes the duration in minutes, with دقائق (minutes) being the noun it modifies, constructing the time expression 'the five minutes'.
