Persian[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Suffix[edit]
ـمین • (-omin)
- -th; creates ordinal numbers.
- پنجمین ― panj-omin ― fifth
- بیست و یکمین ― bist-o yek-omin ― twenty-first
Usage notes[edit]
Persian has two ways to form the ordinals: ـم (-om), and ـمین (-omin). The -om forms have a stronger connotation of labeling, while the -omin forms have a stronger connotation of counting according to a certain criterion. Also, like the cardinals but unlike the -om forms, the -omin forms precede the attributed noun without the ezâfe.
- خانه سوم خیابان ― xâne-ye sevvom-e xiyâbân ― third house on the street [out of all houses]
- سومین خانه سیاه خیابان ― sevvomin xâne-ye siyâh-e xiyâbân ― the third black house on the street
For the irregular Arabic-derived plural اول (avval, “first”), the form corresponding to the -omin form is اولین (avvalin, “first”).
