järjestysluvultaan

järjestysluvultaan is a Finnish word that translates to "in ordinal number" or "by ordinal number". It is used to describe the position of something in a sequence. For example, if you are listing items, you might say "järjestysluvultaan ensimmäinen" to indicate the first item in the list. Similarly, "järjestysluvultaan toinen" would refer to the second item.

This term is frequently encountered in contexts where a specific order or ranking is important. It is a grammatical adverbial form derived from the noun "järjestysluku," which means "ordinal number." The suffix "-ltaan" indicates possession or attribution, thus implying "by its ordinal number."

Understanding "järjestysluvultaan" is crucial for comprehending ordered lists, rankings, and sequential descriptions in Finnish. It helps to clarify precise positioning and avoids ambiguity when referring to items or events in a specific order. The concept is similar to using ordinal numbers in English, such as first, second, third, etc., but "järjestysluvultaan" functions as an adverbial phrase modifying how something is identified or presented within a sequence.
