用法
- The ordinal prefix - attach it to a number to make 'the Nth': 第一 (dì-yī) first, 第三次 (dì-sān cì) the third time, 第二天 (dì-èr tiān) the next day.
- Without 第, a bare number-plus-measure counts quantity (三个 three of them); with 第 it ranks position (第三个 the third one).
- Note ordinals use 二 not 两 - 第二, never 第两.
