Nimeulizwa swali na mwanangu, naomba jibu

[ChiefmTz]

Wana jamvi Amani iwe kwenu. Mtoto wangu wa darasa la sita aliniuliza swali mwaka mmoja uliopita mpaka sasa sijapata jibu, nakuja kwenu maana kanikumbushia ikabidi nimuombe samahani. Anauliza, ukitaka kumuuliza mwenzio " Wewe ni motto wa ngapi kuzaliwa" kwa Kiingereza unasemaje?

What is your ordinal position?

But see the examples you have given us. You can have orders, racks as well, but you can not have races. Do not you see that the race example does not perfectly fit in the case? If it does then the rack example issue should be irrelevant. Do not know if I'm correct or wrong!

We talk about "number theory".

Not about "numbers theory".

Siblings order and numbers theory are not wrong, but the efficiency of the logic of the English language, as spoken by native English speakers, stipulates the convention of using the singular which typifies the plural.

Just like in mathematics how you can write half as 2/4 or 1/2, neat mathematicians would go with the simplified version of 1/2.It is less confusing.
