{{further|Swedish numerals}}
The general rule is that {{lang|sv|:a}} (for 1 and 2) or ''{{lang|sv|:e}}'' (for all other numbers, except ''{{lang|sv|101:a}}'', ''{{lang|sv|42:a}}'', etc., but including ''{{lang|sv|11:e}}'' and ''{{lang|sv|12:e}}'') is appended to the numeral. The reason is that ''{{lang|sv|-a}}'' and ''{{lang|sv|-e}}'' respectively end the ordinal number words. The ordinals for 1 and 2 may however be given an ''{{lang|sv|-e}}'' form (''{{lang|sv|förste}}'' and ''{{lang|sv|andre}}'' instead of ''{{lang|sv|första}}'' and ''{{lang|sv|andra}}'') when used about a male person (masculine natural gender), and if so they are written ''{{lang|sv|1:e}}'' and ''{{lang|sv|2:e}}''. When indicating dates, suffixes are never used. Examples: ''{{lang|sv|1:a klass}}'' "first grade (in elementary school)", ''{{lang|sv|3:e utgåvan}}'' "third edition", but ''{{lang|sv|6 november}}''. Furthermore, suffixes can be left out if the number obviously is an ordinal number, example: ''{{lang|sv|3 utg.}}'' "3rd ed". Using a [[full stop]] as an ordinal indicator is considered [[archaism|archaic]], but still occurs in military contexts; for example: ''{{lang|sv|5. komp}}'' "5th company".
