"22nd" is used to show the 22nd position in a sequence, like the 22nd day of the month. It's formed by adding "nd" after the number, just like 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. In its full form, it would be pronounced as "twenty-second".

Some examples from our editors:

The 22nd of December is my sister's birthday.
I have a dentist appointment on the 22nd.
The 22nd amendment of the US Constitution limits the president to two terms in office.
Our company's annual meeting is scheduled for the 22nd of this month.
The 22nd chapter of the book explains the protagonist's transformation.
On the 22nd, we are planning a picnic in the park with friends and family.

Some alternatives from our editors:

twenty-second
22nd day
twenty-second day
twenty-second of the month
twenty-second in the series

When talking about the twenty-second day of the month, use the word 22nd; 22th would be incorrect.
