Potential articles / sections

  • Ordinals formed with 第
  • Some nouns can take ordinal numbers without 第, e.g. 月, 楼, 层, 姐, 弟. In this case measure words are necessary to indicate quantities.
  • Siblings can be referred to be 老 followed by a number indicating which child they are in sequence. E.g. 老二 is the second child. The eldest child is referred to as 老大.

AKA: ordinals
