As a Turkish language teacher with 20 years of experience, I want to help you understand how ordinal numbers are used in Turkish. This lesson is part of the "Complete 0 to A1 Turkish Course". In this lesson, I assume that you already know the Turkish alphabet, cardinal numbers, and how to tell time. The lesson will cover the following:
=== The Importance of Ordinal Numbers ===
 
Ordinal numbers allow us to express positions or ranks rather than just quantities. While cardinal numbers tell us how many (one, two, three, etc.), ordinal numbers tell us the position in a sequence (first, second, third, etc.).
 
For example, if you want to say "I live on the third floor" or "She finished in first place," you need to use ordinal numbers. Knowing these will enhance your ability to communicate effectively in various situations, such as:
 
* '''Describing locations''': "My apartment is on the second floor."
 
* '''Talking about events''': "The festival is on the fourth of July."
 
* '''Discussing rankings''': "He is the third winner of the competition."
 
=== How to Form Ordinal Numbers in Turkish ===
 
In Turkish, forming ordinal numbers is relatively straightforward. Generally, ordinal numbers are derived from their corresponding cardinal numbers with a few modifications.  
 
Here is the basic rule:
 
1. '''First''': bir → birinci
 
2. '''Second''': iki → ikinci
 
3. '''Third''': üç → üçüncü
 
4. '''Fourth''': dört → dördüncü
 
5. '''Fifth''': beş → beşinci
 
6. '''Sixth''': altı → altıncı
 
7. '''Seventh''': yedi → yedinci

== What are ordinal numbers? ==


Ordinal numbers are numbers used to indicate the position or order of something. For example, "first", "second", "third", and so on. In Turkish, ordinal numbers are formed by adding an -inci suffix to the cardinal number.
These patterns can be extended to higher numbers as well. For instance:


Let's take a look at some examples:
* '''Eleventh''': on bir → on birinci
 
* '''Twelfth''': on iki → on ikinci
 
* '''Twentieth''': yirmi → yirminci
 
It’s important to note that in Turkish, ordinal numbers agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify, but this is less pronounced than in some other languages.
 
=== Examples of Ordinal Numbers in Context ===
 
To give you a clearer idea of how ordinal numbers are used, here are some examples presented in a table format:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

|-
|-
| sekizinci  || sek-eez-in-dji || Eighth
 
| O, yarışmanın birinci oldu. || Oh, yah-ree-shmahn-un birin-dji ohldu. || She came first in the competition.
 
|-
|-
| dokuzuncu  || doh-koo-zoon-dju || Ninth

Turkish → Vocabulary → 0 to A1 Course → Ordinal Numbers

Welcome to the lesson on Ordinal Numbers in Turkish! This is an exciting topic, as understanding ordinal numbers will help you navigate various aspects of daily life in Turkey, from ordering in a restaurant to giving directions or discussing events. Ordinal numbers are essential for expressing order or rank, making them a key component of your vocabulary as you progress toward becoming proficient in Turkish.

In this lesson, we will cover:

  • The importance of ordinal numbers in Turkish.
  • How to form ordinal numbers.
  • Examples of ordinal numbers in different contexts.
  • Exercises to practice what you’ve learned.

Let’s dive into the world of Turkish ordinal numbers!

The Importance of Ordinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Ordinal numbers allow us to express positions or ranks rather than just quantities. While cardinal numbers tell us how many (one, two, three, etc.), ordinal numbers tell us the position in a sequence (first, second, third, etc.).

For example, if you want to say "I live on the third floor" or "She finished in first place," you need to use ordinal numbers. Knowing these will enhance your ability to communicate effectively in various situations, such as:

  • Describing locations: "My apartment is on the second floor."
  • Talking about events: "The festival is on the fourth of July."
  • Discussing rankings: "He is the third winner of the competition."

How to Form Ordinal Numbers in Turkish[edit | edit source]

In Turkish, forming ordinal numbers is relatively straightforward. Generally, ordinal numbers are derived from their corresponding cardinal numbers with a few modifications.

Here is the basic rule:

1. First: bir → birinci

2. Second: iki → ikinci

3. Third: üç → üçüncü

4. Fourth: dört → dördüncü

5. Fifth: beş → beşinci

6. Sixth: altı → altıncı

7. Seventh: yedi → yedinci

8. Eighth: sekiz → sekizinci

9. Ninth: dokuz → dokuzuncu

10. Tenth: on → onuncu

These patterns can be extended to higher numbers as well. For instance:

  • Eleventh: on bir → on birinci
  • Twelfth: on iki → on ikinci
  • Twentieth: yirmi → yirminci

It’s important to note that in Turkish, ordinal numbers agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify, but this is less pronounced than in some other languages.

Examples of Ordinal Numbers in Context[edit | edit source]

To give you a clearer idea of how ordinal numbers are used, here are some examples presented in a table format:

Turkish Pronunciation English
birinci birin-dji first
ikinci ee-kin-dji second
üçüncü oo-choon-dji third
dördüncü duhr-dun-dji fourth
beşinci beh-shin-dji fifth
altıncı al-tin-dji sixth
yedinci yeh-din-dji seventh
sekizinci seh-kee-zin-dji eighth
dokuzuncu doh-koo-zoon-dji ninth
onuncu oh-noon-dji tenth

Now let’s extend this to more complex sentences:

Turkish Pronunciation English
Ben üçüncü kattayım. Ben oo-choon-dji kaht-tah-yim. I am on the third floor.
Bugün dördüncü gün. Boo-goon duhr-dun-dji gyoon. Today is the fourth day.
O, yarışmanın birinci oldu. Oh, yah-ree-shmahn-un birin-dji ohldu. She came first in the competition.
Öğle yemeği ikinci katta. Ur-leh yay-mah-ee ee-kin-dji kaht-tah. The lunch is on the second floor.
