Usage Note

Decimoctavo is the ordinal numeral for 18th, formed from décimo (tenth) + octavo (eighth). In practice, Spanish speakers often replace higher ordinals with cardinal numbers in speech: el piso 18 rather than el piso decimoctavo. Written ordinals use superscript: 18.º (masculine) or 18.ª (feminine).

Examples

"Fue la decimoctava edición del festival."

Natural Translation

It was the eighteenth edition of the festival.
