- "Il quarto"
4 Comments
It refers to both: ordinals in Italian are primo (1st), secondo (2nd), terzo (3rd), quarto (4th), quinto (5th), sesto (6th), settimo (7th), ottavo (8th), nono (9th), decimo (10th), undicesimo (11th) and so on. They work as adjectives so they vary with gender and number. As for fractions, 1/4 is "un quarto", 3/4 "tre quarti".
