"Szósty, siódmy, ósmy"

Translation: Sixth, seventh, eighth

[kiddo-depido]

That weird spelling of "eighth"

[immerweiter]

when do i use this form instead of sześć siedem osiem

[mihxal]

For example when you say about dates or you want to number something like in English: sixth, seventh, eighth.

Ósmy podloga (eighth floor) I cannot put the Polish l.

[Jellei]

"podłoga", as 99% of nouns ending with -a, is feminine: ósma.

However, "podłoga" means "floor" literally as the thing on which you are standing in your room. Or on which your carpet is.

"floor" as is "8th floor of a building" is "piętro" and it's neuter: ósme piętro.

Is the "i" in siódmy not being pronounced or is my hearing bad?

[Jellei]

It's not exactly a separate sound, this is read the same way as if it was written "śódmy".

[IvesAB]

Thanks, got it. I guess it is the first time I see polish words that are not pronounced as written.

[Jellei]

Well, they are, if you are exactly aware of the rules ;)

[IvesAB]

Ouch, seems like I am missing some pronunciation rules. Btw do you know any good source for pronunciation? So far I have only listened to the TTS

[Jellei]

Forvo.com has recordings of native speakers, you can try there.

[IvesAB]

Thank you. Gonna check it out.

[JanKLinde]

It's kinda weird that they teach only the ordinal numbers from 1 to 8. Is it continued later in this course?

[Jellei]

No, that's it for Numbers in this course, and I agree, it would be better to have more.

[JanKLinde]

So I think I've got to to find out somewhere else how to say when my birthday is ;-)
