12 European country flags in the style of Spain
Hi,
I'm a native Spanish speaker, but I moved to the EE.UU. rather young. I would like to know if there's a list online in Spanish that list the ways to say the rank of a number. I want to say stuff like, "Mexico is the 15th largest country by population," but I don't know how to say 15th. I don't think you'd say "quince."
Edit: thank you all for your comments!
Thanks!
I am a beginner Spanish student and we are learning how to say what time things are at and tell the time. On an online homework assignment, I got these two wrong.
The question I was supposed to answer was “¿A qué hora es el almuerzo?”. They said it was at 12 pm. So I wrote “El almuerzo es a las doce de la tarde.” But they said it was supposed to be “El almuerzo es a las doce del día.” Shouldn’t both work?
On the other one I got wrong, they gave us times and we were supposed to say what time it is. It said 12:00 am. I put “Son las doce de la mañana.” It was corrected as “Son las doce de la noche.”
Before this, I thought that de la mañana = anytime in the AM, de la tarde = PM before dark, and de la noche = PM after dark. Is this incorrect? I know that the other ways to say 12 PM and 12 AM are “mediodía” and “medianoche” but why were my answers wrong?
I do consider 12 AM night not morning, so I guess de la noche makes sense, however the correct answer for 1:00 AM was “Es la una de la mañana.” Is it not correct to say de la mañana until 1 AM? I think of 1 AM as night as well.
Anyways, thanks in advance. I know probably I over complicated the question with all my writing, but I wanted to share my thought processes.
