huszonkettedik

Huszonkettedik is the Hungarian ordinal numeral used to denote the twenty-second position in a sequence. It is employed in enumerations, rankings, and any context where an ordinal form is needed, such as lists, pages described by order, or describing a particular item in a series (for example, a huszonkettedik helyezés vagy a huszonkettedik oldal).

Formation and usage: In Hungarian, most ordinals are formed by attaching the suffix -edik or -adik to the cardinal number. For twenty-two, the cardinal is huszonkét and the ordinal becomes huszonkettedik. The stem combines huszonkett- with the suffix -edik to yield the standard spelling huszonkettedik. Like other Hungarian adjectives, it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, for example: a huszonkettedik helyezés, a huszonkettedik oldal, ő a huszonkettedik a versenyen.

Examples: A huszonkettedik oldal található a könyvben. Ő a huszonkettedik a sorban. A huszonkettedik napra esik a határidő.

Related terms: The neighboring ordinals are huszonegyedik (21st) and huszonharmadik (23rd); other around-tens forms include húszadik (20th), huszonötödik (25th), and so on. The formation demonstrates the regular pattern of Hungarian ordinals formed from the cardinal numbers with the appropriate ordinal suffix, with some predictable variations for certain values such as twenty.
