eighth

/eɪtθ/

adjectivenouneighth

Think: "EIGHT" + "TH"—it’s the number eight with a "th" sound at the end, even though the extra letters make it look longer.

Yes, it's eighth. The tricky part is the silent **h**: spell it **eigh** + **th** (like **eight** with **th**).

Definitions

  1. adjectiveComing next after the seventh; 8th in order.
  2. nounOne of eight equal parts of a whole; 1/8.

Examples

  • “She finished in eighth place in the race.”
  • “Cut the sandwich into eighths so everyone gets the same amount.”
  • “On the eighth day of the trip, we finally reached the coast.”
