Ordinal numbers

Ordinal number (linguistics) in Taiwanese are written in Harnji: 第一, 第二, 第三, etc.

How do I say these?

anzoaan texid 🔊 安全第一

safety first

Template:Tts2 第二人稱

second person (the form of a verb used when the subject of a sentence is the audience)

texsvaf kokzex 🔊 第三國際

third world

Only the first two use literary sorji, the rest use colloquial.

Style note

• te is most properly tøe, but shortened in speech
  • Example: tøexid -> texid, also tøe-1, te-1, etc
