- The ordinal form of "acht" is "der achte" (meaning "the eighth"). The ordinals from first to ninth are "der erste," "der zweite," "der dritte," "der vierte," "der fűnfte," "der sechste," "der siebte," "der achte," and "der neunte."

- To express a German number as a fraction, simply add "-tel" or "-el." One fourth is "ein viertel." One eighth is "ein achtel." The German word for zero (0) is "null." One difference between English and German is that where English would use a decimal point, German would use a comma. For example, 0.1415 in English would be i0,1415 in German, spoken as "null Komma eins vier eins fűnf." And while English uses commas for numbers over 1,000, German uses a decimal point or "Punkt." For example, one thousand one hundred eleven (1,111) in English would be written as 1.111 in German.
