ordinal interrogative pronouns

[Hartmut Haberland]

Dear Frans and everybody else,
this has to be checked (of course), but I was once told that in Finland
Swedish (but not in Sweden Swedish) you can say (and write) things like

Hur mång-te    gång ...
how many-ORDIN time(s) ...

'Zum wievielten Mal ... ?'

One could suspect that Finnish has a similar phenomenon (which would
explain the Finland Swedish construction as a result of language
contact), and indeed my dictionary tells me

mones-ko            päivää tänään on?
many.INDEF-INTERROG day    today  is

Best, Hartmut
