Rh ti similarly replaces the tio in the higher numerals; as, tretti, fyrti, femti, etc.

Between 20 and 100 the lesser number precedes the greater when och, 'and,' is used; as, en och sextio, 61, but when och, 'and,' is not used, the larger number precedes the smaller; as, trettio fem, 35.

The ordinal numbers (ordingstal) are: —

Excepting förste (a) and andre (a), the ordinal numbers are indeclinable. In regard to order of precedence, they follow the same rule as the cardinal numbers; as, han är på första och femtionde året, 'he is in his fifty-first year;' hon kom den tjugu-första, 'she came on the twenty-first.'
