"Augusti är årets åttonde månad."

Translation: August is the eighth month of the year.

I had to mouse over åttonde to figure out how to spell eighth... in English

It's #justenglishthings

[MaryBeth378619]

Me too! It looked funny when I typed it. Eighth.

[MaryBeth378619]

8th!

[MichaelKop11]

I relied on my spell checker... I don't think I have ever written it out before.

Why is "August is the years eight month" incorrect?

[PurpleIceBear]

To moderators, I think you should add tips about ordinal numbers to this tree

These seems to be the most common was to talk about months in a year, but would "Augusti är åttonde månad året" be wrong? (Not for this question, just in general)

[Arnauti]

Yes, it's wrong. You could say augusti är den åttonde månaden på året.

The eighth year's** year is? So it is "August is the year is eighth month" lol

So what i made an English typo, trying to learn Swedish by here

[CedSgm7N]

So, was there a lesson on how to say 5th, 6th, 7th, etc? If so, I must have overlooked it. I now find myself having to guess when it comes to the above mentioned.
