Sıralama sayıları

Sıralama sayıları (Ordinal numbers)

After the counting numbers, I just want to explain ordinal numbers and grammar patterns.
Firstly, for the grammar patterns we have four different things. 

(I)NCI 

(İ)NCI 

(U)NCU 

(Ü)NCÜ  

These four will be used according to the last vowel. 

Birinci - First

İkinci - Second 

Üçüncü - Third 

Dördüncü - Fourth

Beşinci - Fifth 

Altıncı - Sixth 

Yedinci - Seventh 

Sekizinci - Eighth 

Dokuzuncu - Ninth

Onuncu - Tenth 

A,I - (I)NCI

E,İ - (İ)NCI

O,U - (U)NCÜ

Ö,Ü - (Ü)NCÜ  

These are the grammar patterns to decide what to use according to the last vowel. 

Note : When the words are already ended with a vowel, you don't need to add the vowel. 

Example : Bir which means one in English is ending with "R" and the last vowel is "İ". So you have to add the vowel and write like Birinci. For the another word, İki, the ending alphabet is "İ" which is also the last vowel in this word, so you don’t need to add “N” and it becomes İkinci which means Second in English.

Note : For the word, Dördüncü, you have to change the alphabet "T" to "D".

There are three ways to write the ordinal numbers. Firstly, 

Birinci                        

İkinci 

Üçüncü  

Dördüncü 

Beşinci 

Altıncı 

Yedinci 

Sekizinci 

Dokuzuncu 

Onuncu 


Secondly, put numbers together like-

1'inci

2'nci

3'üncü

4'üncü

5'inci

6'ncı

7'nci

8'inci

9'uncu

10'uncu


For the last one, just put the dot (nokta in Turkish) after the numbers.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

Note : Be careful to pronounce the ordinal numbers when you see the numbers with dot.

Kaynaştırma harfleri

  Kaynaştırma harfleri (Combining letters) As I mentioned in the other posts, there is no word in Turkish which is two vowels next to each other.

(Ahmet is going to the university)              Öğretmen kapı y ı açtı.
