33 is odd.
The idea of whether a number is even or odd is its parity. From Wikipedia, "Parity is a mathematical term that describes the property of an integer's inclusion in one of two categories: even or odd. An integer is even if it is 'evenly divisible' by two and odd if it is not even. For example, 2 is even because the result of dividing it by itself is 1. By contrast, 3, 5, 7, 21 and so on leave a remainder of 1. Examples of even numbers include −4, 0, 8, and 1734. Examples of odd numbers include −5, 3, 9, and 73. Parity does not apply to non-integer numbers."
