les nombres ordinaux - Ordinal numbers in French

Ordinal numbers are used to indicate a position in a series or sequence, such as first, second, third, etc. In French, ordinal numbers are formed by adding -ième to the cardinal number (except for premier, deuxième, and troisième, which have their own unique forms).

Here are the rules for forming ordinal numbers in French:

• For numbers ending in -e, such as deux (two), simply add -ième: deuxième (second).

• For numbers ending in a consonant, such as trois (three), add -ième after dropping the final consonant: troisième (third).

• For numbers ending in -s, such as six (six), add -ième after dropping the -x: sixième (sixth).

• For numbers ending in -t, such as huit (eight), add -ième after dropping the -t: huitième (eighth).

• For numbers ending in -eux, such as deux (two), add -ième after changing the -x to -z: douzième (twelfth).

• For numbers ending in -onze or -treize, add -ième after changing -onze to -onzième and -treize to -treizième: onze (eleven) becomes onzième (eleventh) and treize (thirteen) becomes treizième (thirteenth).

• Some exceptions to these rules include premier (first), which does not follow the standard -ième pattern, and vingt (twenty), which has a unique ordinal form, vingtième (twentieth).

Here are the ordinal numbers in French from 1 to 20:

 

1. premier / première
2. deuxième
3. troisième
4. quatrième
5. cinquième
6. sixième
7. septième
8. huitième
9. neuvième
10. dixième
11. onzième
12. douzième
13. treizième
14. quatorzième
15. quinzième
16. seizième
17. dix-septième
18. dix-huitième
19. dix-neuvième
20. vingtième
