Ordinals<<strong>br</strong> />

In Japanese, the words used for the dates (1st of March etc)<<strong>br</strong> />

and the ordinals in English sense (for example, ‘third chair<<strong>br</strong> />

from the window’) are different. The English ordinals can<<strong>br</strong> />

usually be translated by adding -bam·me to numbers.<<strong>br</strong> />

1st ichi-bam·me 012<<strong>br</strong> />

2nd ni-bam·me 345<<strong>br</strong> />

3rd san-bam·me 678<<strong>br</strong> />

4th yon-bam·me 9:;<<strong>br</strong> />

5th go-bam·me <<strong>br</strong> />

6th rok-bam·me ?@A<<strong>br</strong> />

7th nana-bam·me BCD<<strong>br</strong> />

8th hachi-bam·me EFG<<strong>br</strong> />

9th kyu-bam·me HIJ<<strong>br</strong> />

10th jyu-bam·me KLM<<strong>br</strong> />

See pages 288-289 for the set of ordinals used to form dates.<<strong>br</strong> />
