Ordinal Numbers
  • Dulce1 August 2014
    In Portuguese números ordinais, ordinal numbers, or numbers that describe the order or sequence of something agree in gender and number with the nouns.
    Example: 
    Ele comprou o quito livro. He bought the fifth book.
    Você prefere sentar-se na segunda ou terceira fila? Would you rather sit on the second or third row?
    Nós queremos duas das primeiras mesas e quatro dos segundos bancos. We want two the first tables and four of the second benches. 
    The abbreviation symbol used is the superscript º.
    Example:
    Eu moro no 24º andar. I live on the 24th floor.
    In Portuguese all numbers in a figure are ordinal.
    Example:
    vigésimo terceiro, 23rd
    centésimo quinquagésimo quinto, 155th
