When do we use ordinal numbers in Norwegian?

 

We usually use ordinal numbers in Norwegian for:

 

Dates

 

Han har bursdag femte juni (5. juni).

He has his birthday on June 5th.

 

You can also add the particle “den”:

 

Han har bursdag den femte juni (5. juni).

He has his birthday on June 5th.

 

When you say dates, you can also use ordinal numbers for the months:

 

femte i sjette 

June 5th

 

 

Floors in buildings

 

Kontoret vårt ligger i åttende etasje.

Our office is on the eighth floor.

 

Han bor i tredje etasje.

He lives on the third floor.
