    Translation

    A nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine-thousandth (ordinal)

    Vocabulary

    • dziewięćset — nine hundred
    • dziewięćdziesiąt — ninety
    • dziewięć — nine
    • tysiąc — thousand
    • -nik — suffix forming ordinal nouns

    Grammar note

    Polish can form arbitrarily long compound ordinal numerals as single words. 'Dziewięćsetdziewięćdziesięciodziewięciotysięcznik' = 999,000th. The suffix '-nik' turns the numeral into a noun referring to the item at that position.
