Ninth graders learn ordinal numbers in Thai — and they’re wonderfully simple: just add thii (ที่) before a number! Thii nueng (ที่หนึ่ง, first), thii song (ที่สอง, second), thii saam (ที่สาม, third), thii sii (fourth), thii haa (fifth). They put them in order and say rankings.
Students will be able to…
thii nueng, thii song… how do you say “first, second, third” in Thai?
Project this and have students put the Thai ordinals in order from thii nueng to thii haa.
