As you can see, once you get to 30, the numbers get geometric (ex. quadrag\u00e9simo ~ quadrado)!\u00a0 Also, note the numbers are all masculine here.\u00a0 When the noun is feminine, for all the numbers above, you switch the last \u201co\u201d of each word with an \u201ca.\u201d<\/p>\n

I was also able to find a quiz on Portuguese Ordinals for those of you who\u2019d like some practice on this. Ordinal Numbers: English-Portuguese<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
