Ordinal Numbers

The ordinal numbers from 1 to 1000 are these:

  • 1 першы
  • 2 другі
  • 3 трэці
  • 4 чацвёрты
  • 5 пяты
  • 6 шосты
  • 7 сёмы
  • 8 восьмы
  • 9 дзевяты
  • 100 соты
  • 1000 тысячны

Like in the Interslavic explanation, these function grammatically like adjectives and decline accordingly.

To state the time of day, you typically use the preposition у/ў followed by the ordinal number in the Locative case and the word гадзі́не (Locative case of "гадзі́на").

  • Example: 8:45 -> у восьмай гадзі́не со́рак пяць хвілі́н - at eight forty-five.
