letzte
(adjectival noun) (nom. or acc.) (neut.) (sing.) last one In German, adjectives can be turned into nouns. (eg; der Alte = the old man) These nouns decline (have endings) just like adjectives do, depending on gender/quantity, case and the article used before it. Definite articles (the, this, these) trigger "weak" endings, so in the neuter nominative/accusative, this adjectival noun just gains an 'e' ending here.
