First, second, third
| 1. første | 2. anden | 3. tredje | 4. fjerde |
| 5. femte | 6. sjette | 7. syvende | 8. ottende |
| 9. niende | 10. tiende |
første and anden are irregular — learn them as words. From the fifth on, most end in -ende or -te. In writing, a full stop after the number marks an ordinal: den 3. maj.
Saying the date
A Danish date is den + ordinal + month — no of:
| Today it is the first of April. | I dag er det den første april. |
| My birthday is on the third of May. | Min fødselsdag er den tredje maj. |
To ask for the date, use datoen:
| What is the date today? | Hvad er datoen i dag? |
Next and birthdays
næste (next) goes straight before the day: næste fredag. A birthday party is holde fødselsdag — literally hold birthday:
| She is having a birthday party next Saturday. | Hun holder fødselsdag næste lørdag. |
Years
Years are said like ordinary numbers with tusind (thousand): 2005 is to tusind og fem.
| The house is from two thousand and five. | Huset er fra to tusind og fem. |
