einundzwanzigste

Einundzwanzigste is a German ordinal number that translates to "twenty-first" in English. It is used to indicate the position of an item in a sequence, specifically the 21st. The term is derived from the combination of "einundzwanzig" (twenty-one) and the suffix "-ste," which is commonly used to form ordinal numbers in German. Einundzwanzigste is written as "21." in numerical form. It is used in various contexts, such as dates, rankings, and positions in lists. For example, "der 21. Juni" (June 21st) or "die 21. Position" (the 21st position). The pronunciation of einundzwanzigste is similar to "ain-un-tse-tingst." It is important to note that in German, ordinal numbers are typically formed by adding the suffix "-ste" to the cardinal number, with some exceptions for numbers ending in 1 or 3. Einundzwanzigste is an exception to this rule, as it is formed by combining "einundzwanzig" with the suffix "-ste."
