Instead of using a specific ordinal number, you can add -me to the numbers made with the counter -ban, and use these with any noun: ichiban-me no heya ‘the first room,’ niban-me no hon ‘the second book,’ sanbam-me no hito ‘the third person.’

Another way to make words meaning ‘first, second, third,’ etc., is to prefix-dai to any primary numeral: dai-ichi, dai-ni, dai-san, dai-yon, etc. These words are less commonly used than the ones given above with -me, but you will often hear daiichi in proper names: Daiichi-Hoteru, Daiichi-Birudingu.
