How to say 1st 2nd 3rd in German?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Lets explore how to say ordinals ( first, second, third..and the list goes on) in German in this post. 1st, 2nd, 3rd are referred as Ordinals which are numerical terms. Like 1st, 2nd and 3rd are pronounced in English, there are various ordinal pronunciations in German. Positions and dates are both described by ordinals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s look at the ordinal numbers in the table below.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In German, the 11th through 20th are pronounced similarly as seen below.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What about birthdates? No worries! Before proceeding to birthdates, let us have a look at the ordinal names from 21st to 31st.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ein und Drei\u00dfigsten\/Drei\u00dfigste<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>are the expressions for the number 31th. By referring to the ordinal numbers from 40 to 100 given below, we can form many other ordinal numbers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let’s talk about birthdates now!
\nIn German, July 15th is pronounced\u00a0 as F\u00fcnfzehnten<\/a> Juli<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, while April 27th is known as Sieben und Zwanzigsten April<\/em><\/strong>. August 11th is pronounced as Elften August<\/em><\/strong>, and May 4th is spoken as Vierten Mai<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span>
\nNow that you have learned about the date of birth in this post and month of birth (German months are already explained in one of my previous posts), try combining your birthdate and birth month and tell me your birthdate in the comment box below! You’ll fit right in!<\/span><\/p>\n
