Usage tips
Word structure
'Dreizehnte' (thirteenth) consists of 'dreizehn' (thirteen) and the ending '-te', which forms the ordinal number here. It therefore indicates the position after the twelfth place or step.
EXAMPLE

In the thirteenth chapter, the story suddenly changes.
Typical collocations
'Dreizehnte' (thirteenth) often comes before words that indicate a position in a sequence or a section, such as 'Runde' (round), 'Kapitel' (chapter), 'Platz' (place), or 'Etappe' (stage).
EXAMPLE

Dates
In a date, the ordinal number follows 'am' (on the) and indicates the day of the month. In this use, 'dreizehnte' (thirteenth) takes the dative ending.
