Ordinal Numbers (Números Ordinales):

Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the order of items or events. They often end in "-o" for masculine words and "-a" for feminine words. Here are the first ten ordinal numbers in Spanish:

1. primero (primera - feminine)
2. segundo (segunda - feminine)
3. tercero (tercera - feminine)
4. cuarto (cuarta - feminine)
5. quinto (quinta - feminine)
6. sexto (sexta - feminine)
7. séptimo (séptima - feminine)
8. octavo (octava - feminine)
9. noveno (novena - feminine)
10. décimo (décima - feminine)

For example, "first day" would be "primer día" (masculine) or "primera día" (feminine), and "fifth book" would be "quinto libro" (masculine) or "quinta libro" (feminine).

Remember that ordinal numbers are used for things like describing the order of dates, positions, or ranks.
