- CARDINAL (or counting) numbers and the ORDINAL (or descriptive) numbers.
- Examples of cardinal numbers are:</p><div class="informalexample"><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">один</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">два</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">три</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">десять</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">двадцать</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">сто</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">тысяча</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">миллион</em></span></p></div><p>Examples of ordinal numbers are:</p><div class="informalexample"><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">первый</em></span>,
- <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">второй</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">третий</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">десятый</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">двадцатый</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">сотый</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">тысячный</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">миллионный</em></span></p></div><p>The ordinal numbers are actually adjectives which answer the
- questions <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">какой?</em></span>
- <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">какая?</em></span> <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">какое?</em></span> <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">какие?</em></span> Remember these from Lesson 2?
- Therefore, they'll behave just as any adjective does, agreeing with the
- nouns they modify in GENDER, NUMBER AND CASE.</p><p>In this lesson, you saw the expressions на первое, на второе where
- there were only ordinal numbers (in the neuter) and no noun. The
- understood noun in these instances was <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">блюдо</em></span>. So, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">первое блюдо</em></span> means first course,
- <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">второе блюдо</em></span> means second
- course.</p><p>You will also use the ordinal numbers to indicate the date:</p><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Сегодня десятое</em></span>
- (<span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">число</em></span>-understood, not
- expressed) <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">апреля</em></span>.</p><p>Here are a few ordinal numbers and their corresponding cardinal
- forms. The ordinals are given in the masculine.</p><div class="informaltable"><table style="width: 100%; border: none;"><colgroup><col style="width: 5cm; " class="c1"/><col style="width: 5cm; " class="c2"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">первый</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">один</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">второй</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">два</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">третий</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">три</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">четвёртый</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">четыре</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">пятый</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">пять</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">шестой</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">шесть</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">седьмой</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">семь</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">восьмой</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">восемь</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">девятый</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">девять</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">десятый</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">десять</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">двадцатый</em></span></p></td><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">двадцать</em></span></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">двадцать
