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

"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.
