      <p>As in English, there are two types of numbers in Russian: the 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"
              >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>
