Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will delve into the world of ordinal numbers in Thai. Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the position or order of something in a series. Understanding ordinal numbers is essential for everyday conversations, as they are commonly used when talking about dates, rankings, and more. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently use ordinal numbers in your Thai conversations.

What are Ordinal Numbers?[edit | edit source]

Ordinal numbers are words or numerals that indicate the position or order of something in a series. In English, we use words like "first," "second," and "third" to express ordinal numbers. Similarly, in Thai, we have specific words and rules to form ordinal numbers.

Forming Ordinal Numbers in Thai[edit | edit source]

To form ordinal numbers in Thai, we usually add the word "ที่" (thîi) before the cardinal number. For example:

1st - ที่หนึ่ง (thîi nèung)
2nd - ที่สอง (thîi sǎawng)
3rd - ที่สาม (thîi sǎam)

Let's take a closer look at the formation of ordinal numbers in Thai:

Cardinal Numbers 1-10[edit | edit source]

Here are the cardinal numbers from 1 to 10 in Thai, along with their corresponding ordinal forms:

Thai	Pronunciation	English
1	nèung	first
2	sǎawng	second
3	sǎam	third
4	sìi	fourth
5	hâa	fifth
6	hòk	sixth
7	jèt	seventh
8	bàat	eighth
9	gâo	ninth
10	sìp	tenth

Note: The pronunciation provided here is just an approximation. It is recommended to listen to native speakers to get a better understanding of the correct pronunciation.

Cardinal Numbers 11-100[edit | edit source]

When forming ordinal numbers from 11 to 100, we use the cardinal numbers and add the word "ที่" (thîi) before them. Here are some examples:

11th - ที่สิบเอ็ด (thîi sìp èt)
22nd - ที่ยี่สิบสอง (thîi yîi sìp sǎawng)
33rd - ที่สามสิบสาม (thîi sǎam sìp sǎam)
44th - ที่สี่สิบสี่ (thîi sìi sìp sìi)
55th - ที่ห้าสิบห้า (thîi hâa sìp hâa)
66th - ที่หกสิบหก (thîi hòk sìp hòk)
77th - ที่เจ็ดสิบเจ็ด (thîi jèt sìp jèt)
88th - ที่แปดสิบแปด (thîi bàat sìp bàat)
99th - ที่เก้าสิบเก้า (thîi gâo sìp gâo)
100th - ที่หนึ่งร้อย (thîi nèung rói)

As you can see, the formation of ordinal numbers in Thai follows a consistent pattern, making it relatively easy to understand and use.

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

In Thai culture, ordinal numbers play an important role in various aspects of daily life. They are commonly used when referring to the order of siblings, ranking in competitions, and even when discussing historical events. For example, when talking about Thai kings, ordinal numbers are used to refer to their position in the royal lineage, such as "พระบาทสมเด็จพระเจ้าอยู่หัวที่ 10" (Phrá Bàat Somdet Phrá Cháo Yùu Hǔa thîi sìp), which translates to "King Rama X" in English.

Additionally, ordinal numbers are used when talking about dates in Thai. For instance, when referring to the date of the month, ordinal numbers are used, such as "วันที่ 21" (wan thîi sǎam sìp èt), which means "the 21st day." It's important to note that in Thai, the word "วันที่" (wan thîi) is used before the ordinal number to indicate the date.

Understanding how to use ordinal numbers in Thai not only helps you communicate more effectively but also provides insights into the cultural significance attached to them.

Exercises[edit | edit source]

Now, let's practice using ordinal numbers in various contexts. Choose the correct ordinal number to complete each sentence:

1. วันพุธเป็นวันที่ ... (wan phút bpen wan thîi ...) - Wednesday is the ... day of the week. a) สอง (sǎawng) b) สาม (sǎam) c) สี่ (sìi) d) ห้า (hâa)
