Sjätte

Sjätte is the Swedish ordinal numeral meaning sixth, used to denote position in a sequence. It is generally placed before a noun to indicate order, for example: den sjätte dagen (the sixth day), på sjätte plats (in sixth place), eller den sjätte platsen (the sixth place). The form agrees with the noun in number and gender in standard Swedish.

In dates and time expressions it can appear as den sjätte december (the sixth of December) or simply sjätte december in informal contexts. In sports and competitions, it is common to say hon kom på sjätte plats (she finished in sixth place) or det sjätte försöket (the sixth attempt).

Swedish uses a regular set of ordinal numbers for counting: första (first), andra (second), tredje (third), fjärde (fourth), femte (fifth), sjätte (sixth), sjunde (seventh), åttonde (eighth), nionde (ninth), tionde (tenth). Sjätte is the standard form for the sixth position and is widely used in education, media, and everyday language.
