Burada dikkat etmeniz gereken yer, 1.-2.-3. derken farklı bir kelime kullanıyorlar, ikinci bir dikkat gerektiren yer ise diğer sayıların sonuna “th” geliyor..

Son olarak unutma! Ondalıklarda sayının sonundaki “y” harfi düşer yerine “ieth” gelir. Aynı çoğullarda yaptığımız gibi..

Spelling of Ordinal Numbers

Just add th to the cardinal number:

four – fourth
eleven – eleventh

Exceptions: İstisnalar

one – first
two – second
three – third
five – fifth
eight – eighth
nine – ninth
twelve – twelfth

In compound ordinal numbers, note that only the last figure is written as an ordinal number:

421st = four hundred and twenty-first
5,111th = five thousand, one hundred and eleventh

Figures

When expressed as figures, the last two letters of the written word are added to the ordinal number:

first = 1st
second = 2nd
third = 3rd
fourth = 4th
twenty-sixth = 26th
hundred and first = 101st

Titles

In names for kings and queens, ordinal numbers are written in Roman numbers. In spoken English, the definite article is used before the ordinal number:

Charles II – Charles the Second
Edward VI – Edward the Sixth
Henry VIII – Henry the Eighth
