Please note that some ordinal numbers in Swedish are irregular, and the above list covers ordinal numbers for the numerals 1-23, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, and 1000. For numbers beyond 1000, you would typically add “-e” to the cardinal number and follow the pattern, e.g., 2000 would be “tvåtusende” and so on.

 Swedish pronunciation can be a bit tricky, especially for non-native speakers. The pronunciations provided above are approximations to help you get started. It’s always a good idea to listen to native speakers and practice the sounds to improve your pronunciation.
