Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The word 'sechs' is derived from the Old High German word 'sehs', which also meant six. It is a cardinal number that comes after five and before seven. In the decimal system, it is represented by the Arabic numeral 6.
In German, 'sechs' is used to represent the quantity or position of something when it reaches the number six. For example, if you have six apples, you would say 'sechs Äpfel'. Similarly, if you are in sixth place in a race, you would say 'sechster Platz'.
Like other numerals in German, 'sechs' can be used as an adjective or a noun. As an adjective, it agrees with the gender and case of the noun it modifies. For example, 'sechste Stunde' (sixth hour) and 'sechstes Buch' (sixth book). As a noun, it can be used to refer to the number itself or to a group of six things.
