How to pronounce Numbers like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Etc. (Ordinal Numbers)

1/5/2018

0 Comments

 
Ordinal numbers (e.g. first, third, fortieth) can present problems when mispronounced.  They are often similar pronunciation to numerals (e.g. seventeen/seventeenth, four/fourth) but they have a consonant cluster at the end.  Error patterns on consonant clusters (devoicing, omission) will result in a potential misunderstanding of the number.  In addition, the final th /θ/ on many ordinal numbers can be difficult to say correctly.  Use the written words, IPA symbols and recordings below to practice correct final consonant clusters on ordinal numbers.
Ordinal numbers 1st-10th         

first
second
third
fourth
fifth
sixth
seventh
eighth
ninth
tenth
