      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">оди́н</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">де́сять</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">два́дцать</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">ты́сяча</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">миллио́н</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">пе́рвый</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">второ́й</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">тре́тий</em></span>,
          <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">деся́тый</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">двадца́тый</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">со́тый</em></span>,
          <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">ты́сячный</em></span>, <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">миллио́нный</em></span></p></div><p>The ordinal numbers are actually adjectives which answer the questions <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">какой?</em></span></strong></span>
      <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">кака́я?</em></span></strong></span>
      <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">како́е?</em></span></strong></span>
      <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">каки́е?</em></span></strong></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 <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">на первое</em></span></strong></span>, <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">на второе</em></span></strong></span> where there were
      only ordinal numbers (in the neuter) and no noun. The understood noun in these instances was
        <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">блю́до</em></span></strong></span>. So,
        <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">пе́рвое блю́до</em></span></strong></span>
      means first course, <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">второ́е
          блю́до</em></span></strong></span> means second course.</p><p>You will also use the ordinal numbers to indicate the date:</p><p><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Сего́дня
        деся́тое</em></span></strong></span> (<span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">число́</em></span></strong></span>-understood, not expressed) <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">апре́ля</em></span></strong></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>
