yhdeksännenä

Yhdeksäntenä is a Finnish word that translates to "as the ninth" or "ninthly" in English. It functions as an ordinal adverb, indicating an order or position in a sequence. For instance, it can be used to describe something happening in the ninth place, or as the ninth item in a list. The word is derived from the Finnish numeral "yhdeksän," meaning "nine." The suffix "-nä" is an adverbial suffix that converts nouns and numerals into adverbs, often denoting manner or order.

In Finnish grammar, yhdeksäntenä specifies that an event or item is situated at the ninth position within a series. This can apply to chronological order, spatial arrangement, or any other form of ordered enumeration. For example, one might say "hän tuli yhdeksäntenä maaliin," which translates to "he came ninth in the race." Similarly, "luettelossa yhdeksäntenä oli..." means "ninth on the list was..." The word is a fundamental part of expressing ordinal relationships in the Finnish language. Its usage is consistent with how other ordinal adverbs are formed and employed in Finnish.
