in the sixteenth position

Coming after the fifteenth; number 16 in order.

الگوی کاربرد: the sixteenth [thing/person/day]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "sixteen" (the number) with "sixteenth" (the order). Use "sixteen" for counting ("I am sixteen"), and "sixteenth" for position ("I am the sixteenth student in the line"). In dates, write "the sixteenth of May" or "May 16th", not "the sixteen of May".

الگوی کاربرد: [someone/something] is (the) sixteenth

one part out of sixteen

One part when something is cut into sixteen equal pieces; the fraction 1/16.

الگوی کاربرد: a sixteenth of [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say "one sixteen" instead of "one sixteenth" for the fraction 1/16. Use the "-th" ending (sixteenth) when talking about parts of a whole. Also, when the numerator is more than one, use the plural: "two sixteenths", not "two sixteenth".

musical note one-sixteenth long

In music, a very short note that lasts one sixteenth as long as a whole note.

الگوی کاربرد: a sixteenth (note) in [music/passage]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "sixteenth note" with "sixteen note". Always use the ordinal form "sixteenth" for note values. In British English, this note is usually called a "semiquaver"; mixing the two terms in the same context can confuse listeners.
