How do you say "part one, part two, part three, ect...." in spanish?

Question

Part one. = Primera parte. Part two. = Segunda parte. Part three. = Tercera parte. Part four. = Cuarta Parte. Is this the correct way of writing it in Spanish?

Good question , well asked and answered . Thanks mate. - ray76, Mar 6, 2017

Answer 1

You have done it correctly. In California, those who speak espanglés might do it the English way, i.e., parte uno, parte dos, etc, but that isn't correct.

Thank you Dani , although I do not quite agree with your assumption , we would also say , first part second part etc , as in everything it depends on context , but I would say it that way . - ray76, Mar 6, 2017

The way the OP has asked the question is also correct: I.e., part one, part two, part three, etc. - Daniela2041, Mar 6, 2017

But the Spanish IS different' - Daniela2041, Mar 6, 2017

You have missed the difference Dani , saying part one two and three , is totally different to , first part second and third , one uses ordinal numbers the other uses cardinal numbers. - ray76, Mar 6, 2017

I know all about the difference between the use of cardinal numbers and ordinals. I even know them in Spanish. Ha! - Daniela2041, Mar 6, 2017

Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers Chart

A Cardinal Number is a number that says how many of something there are, such as one, two, three, four, five.

An Ordinal Number is a number that tells the position of something in a list, such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc.

Cardinal Ordinal

4 Four 4th Fourth

5 Five 5th Fifth

6 Six 6th Sixth

7 Seven 7th Seventh

8 Eight 8th Eighth

9 Nine 9th Ninth
