Heading level 1[keisti | redaguoti vikitekstą]
Welcome to the Standard Arabic course for beginners. In this lesson, we will learn how to form and use ordinal numbers in Arabic. Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the position of an item in a series, such as first, second, third, and so on.
Heading level 2: What are ordinal numbers?[keisti | redaguoti vikitekstą]
Ordinal numbers are words used to represent the order or position of elements in a list. For example, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and so on. In Standard Arabic, ordinal numbers are usually formed by adding the suffix "ِّـيْن" ("-een"/"-iin") to the cardinal number form, which is used to represent quantity.
Here are the ordinal numbers from 1 to 10 in Standard Arabic:
Standard Arabic | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
الأُولَى | al-ʾ'ūlah | The first one |
الثَانِيَة | aṯ-ṯāniyah | The second one |
الثالِثَة | al-ṯaaliṯah | The third one |
الرّابِعَة | ar-rābiʿah | The fourth one |
الخامِسَة | al-khāmisa | The fifth one |
السّادِسَة | as-sādisa | The sixth one |
السّابِعَة | as-sābiʿah | The seventh one |
الثّامِنَة | aṯ-ṯāminah | The eighth one |
التّاسِعَة | at-tāsiʿah | The ninth one |
العاَشِرَة | al-ʿaashirah | The tenth one |
Heading level 3: Special cases[keisti | redaguoti vikitekstą]
There are some special cases when forming the ordinal numbers:
- When the cardinal number ends with "1," the ending will be "-st" in English, while in Arabic we will use "-first" (الأولى - al-ʾ'ūlah). For example:
Cardinal | Ordinal |
---|---|
وَاحِد | الأُولَى |
- When the cardinal number ends with "2," the ending will be "-nd" in English, while in Arabic we will use "-second" (الثانِيَة - aṯ-ṯāniyah). For example:
Cardinal | Ordinal |
---|---|
اثنان | الثانِيَة |
- When the cardinal number ends with "3," the ending will be "-rd" in English, while in Arabic we will use "-third" (الثالِثَة - al-ṯaaliṯah). For example:
Cardinal | Ordinal |
---|---|
ثَلاثَة | الثالِثَة |
- For the numbers from 11 to 19, the ordinal can be formed by adding the suffix "-th" in English or "-eleventh" to "-nineteenth" in Arabic (الحادِي عَشَر - al-ḥādi ʿashar / الثالِث عَشَر - at-thāliṯ ʿashar / الخامِس عَشَر - al-khaamis ʿashar / الثَامِن عَشَر - aṯ-ṯāmin ʿashar / التّاسِع عَشَر - at-tāsiʿ ʿashar). For example:
Cardinal | Ordinal |
---|---|
أحَد عَشَر | الحادِي عَشَر |
Heading level 2: How to use ordinal numbers[keisti | redaguoti vikitekstą]
Ordinal numbers can be used to represent the position in a series (first, second, third), the hierarchy of people (president, vice-president), or fractions (one-third, two-fifths).
Here are some examples of how to use ordinal numbers in everyday Arabic:
- First, we must clean the room. الأولى، يَجِب أَنْ نَنْظُف الغُرْفَة.
- He won the second place in the competition. فَازَ بِالمَرْكِز الثانِي في المُنافَسَة.
- The third one from the left. الثالِثَة مِنَ اليَسار.
- The fifth chapter in the book. الفَصْل الخامِس في الكِتاب.
