Nepali (individual language) Vocabulary → Numbers in Nepali → Ordinal Numbers

In this lesson, you will learn about ordinal numbers in Nepali. Ordinal numbers indicate the position or order of elements in a list, sequence, or series.

Ordinal Numbers in Nepali

Ordinal numbers in Nepali are formed by adding the suffix "-ो" ("-o") to the end of the cardinal number. For example:

Nepali (individual language)	Pronunciation	English
फेरि (1st)	"pheri"	first
दुईवटा (2nd)	"dui baṭā"	second
तीनो (3rd)	"tīno"	third
चारो (4th)	"cāro"	fourth
पाँचो (5th)	"pām̐co"	fifth

Some exceptions to this rule include:

- पहिलो (pahilo) for "first" instead of "pheri". - दोस्रो (dosro) for "second" instead of "dui baṭā". - तेश्रो (tesro) for "third" instead of "tīno".

Note: "o" in the suffix "-ो" ("-o") should be pronounced with the nasal sound "ṃ" ("ŋ" in IPA) when followed by a consonant.

Examples

- The first day of the week is Sunday. = सप्ताहको पहिलो दिन आइतवार हो। (saptāhako pahilo din āitavār ho.) - This is my second visit to Nepal. = यो मेरो दोस्रो नेपाल भ्रमण हो। (yo mero dosro Nepāla bhramaṇa ho.) - She came in third in the race. = उनी दौडमा तेश्रो आएकी थिइन्। (unī ḍōḍamā teśro āekī thīin.)

Notes

- Ordinal numbers are commonly used in daily life, especially when referring to rankings or positions. - There may be slight variations in the suffix "-ो" ("-o") depending on the gender or number of the noun it modifies.

I hope you found this lesson helpful in enhancing your Nepali language skills. In the next lesson, you will learn about plural and fractional numbers in Nepali.
