<h3>Ordinal Numbers</h3>
Again, take your time to practice pronouncing each number correctly. Note that the numbers 11-19 are formed by combining the word for "ten" (tíggju) with the respective unit digit. For example, "eleven" is "tíggju og ein," and "fifteen" is "tíggju og fimm." This pattern continues until we reach twenty (tjúgu).


Now that you know the numbers from 1 to 20, let's turn them into ordinal numbers.
== Cultural Insight ==
Numbers play an important role in Faroese culture, particularly in traditional folklore and superstitions. For example, the number 13 is considered unlucky in many cultures, and Faroese folklore is no exception. In Faroese folklore, it is believed that the number 13 attracts misfortune and should be avoided whenever possible. This superstition is so strong that some buildings in the Faroe Islands skip the 13th floor or label it as something else, such as the 12A or 14th floor. It's interesting to note how cultural beliefs and traditions can shape our perception of numbers.
