Comentarii
Numeralul ordinal se formeaza prin adaugarea
sufixului "th" la numeralul cardinal.
Exceptii:
1) one ---> first (1st)
2) two ---> second (2nd)
3) three ---> third (3rd)
4) la five si nine ---> se suprima -e final: fifth
(5th) si ninth (9th)
5) in cazul zecile la care -y final se transforma in
-ie: forty ---> fortieth
(40th)
Observatii:
1. La numeralele compuse,
numai ultimul numar primeste "–th":
27:
the twenty-seventh
236: the
two hundred and thirty-sixth
2. In engleza, numeralul
ordinal se foloseste si la exprimarea datei:
April 25th
the 25th
of April
In exprimarea datei,
numeralul ordinal poate fi asezat inainte sau dupa
numele lunii. Daca numeralul ordinal precede
denumirea lunii, acesta este urmat de of:
I was born on the 25th
of April 1986.
Daca numeralul ordinal este asezat dupa denumirea
lunii, of este omis:
I was born on April
(the) 25th.
