Listen and repeat the ordinal numbers from 1 to 10 in Spanish.

1º = Primero
2º = Segundo
3º = Tercero
4º = Cuarto
5º = Quinto
6º = Sexto
7º = Séptimo
8º = Octavo
9º = Noveno
10º = Décimo

The masculine forms are written with the number and the symbol " º " at the top on the right. The feminine forms are written with the number and the symbol " ª " at the top on the right.

1º = primero, 2º = segundo... / 1ª = primera, 2ª = segunda...

Before a masculine noun, primero and tercero change to" primer " and " tercer ".

- Quiero el primer libro - Quiero la primera revista* I want the first book - I want the first magazine.
- Vivo en el tercer piso - Vivo en la tercera casa* I live on the third floor. - I live in the third house.

* The feminine forms "primera" y "tercera" do not change.

To refer to ordinal numbers higher than 10, we generally use the corresponding number.

- Vivo en el piso doce. - I live on the twelfth floor.

Notice that in Spanish compound nouns are usually connected by the preposition " de":


*Oficina*	+	*Correos*	=	*Oficina de correos*

*Oficina*	+	*Turismo*	=	*Oficina de* *turismo*

*Cabina*	+	*Teléfono*	=	*Cabina de teléfono*

However, a single compound noun can also be formed from a verb and a noun.
