Ordinal numbers in Brazilian Portuguese serve to indicate order or position in a series and are similar to their English counterparts. Let's dive into these numbers, providing a straightforward, simple understanding.

Let's start with the ordinal numbers from first to tenth:

Example: Eu sou o primeiro da fila. (I am the first in line.)

Ordinal numbers from eleventh to twentieth are:

Example: Hoje é o décimo quarto dia do mês. (Today is the fourteenth day of the month.)

Beyond the twentieth, we use a similar pattern to English, using the tens ordinal followed by the unit ordinal.

Example: Este é o quadragésimo quinto capítulo do livro. (This is the forty-fifth chapter of the book.)

For expressing hundreds, thousands, and larger numbers, we use 'centésimo', 'milésimo', and 'milionésimo' respectively.

Example: Este é o centésimo aniversário da cidade. (This is the hundredth anniversary of the city.)

Example: Ele terminou a corrida em milésimo lugar. (He finished the race in the thousandth place.)

With this guide, you should now have a solid understanding of ordinal numbers in Brazilian Portuguese. Keep practicing, and you'll become fluent in no time!

Ordinal numbers are numbers used to indicate the position or order of an item in a sequence or series. They are different from cardinal numbers, which represent quantity or counting. Ordinal numbers provide a sense of relative position or rank.
