Ordinal numbers
Ordinal numbers (First, second, third...) — tuatahi, tuarua...
In te reo Māori, cardinal numbers count quantity (tahi–tekau). When counting things, numbers 2–9 take e (e.g., E whā ngā waea). When counting people, they take toko (e.g., Tokoono ngā kaikōrero). Ordinal numbers such as first, second, and third are formed with the prefix tua- (e.g., tuatahi, tuarua, tuatoru).
