When to use Prefixes 小 and 第

Read 小- / 第- as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 第 adds to it.

今天是第一天。

Today is the first day.

他坐在第二个位子。

He sits in the second seat.

Common traps

  • Do not translate 小- / 第- mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 第 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
