II. ORDINAL NUMBERS
Ordinal numbers are formed by adding ième to the last consonant of the cardinal number.
Ex: -troisième /truwazieme/ third
-Cinquante-deuxième /senkant doughzieme/ fifty-second
- Mille huit cent cinquante-sixième /mil wit san senkant siziem/ one thousand eight hundred and fifty-sixth.
- Centième /santieme/ hundredth
-Millième /miliem/ thousandth
Except that:
1 first is premiere /premieh/ (feminine première /premier/).but un in compound numbers forms unième.
Ex: -cent unième /san uniem/ one hundred and one
-Vingt et unième /veng te uniem/ twenty-first
-Quatre-vingt-unième /katr veng te uniem/ eighty-first
2 fifth is cinquième /senkiem/ while nineth is neuvième /noeviem/.
Ex: la cinquième fois /la senkiem fwa/ the fifth time
La neuvième année /la noeviem anay/
3 ordinals can also be used to denote chapters,act,scenes,and volumes.
Ex: chapitre troisième /shapitr truwaziem/ Third chapter
Acte cinquième /act senkiem/ fifth act


NOTE:
The common abbreviations for ordinals are:
1er =premier
2e =deuxième
3e =troisième
4e =quatrième
etc.

after such a long time.they must be so close to their retirement.it is sad though justice is done.

this is barbaric and inhumane.a Nigerian to treat a fellow Nigerian so low.i hope they pay for their wickedness.they forgot that what goes around comes around.by the time they finish serving their sentence,they wld have lost everything and it wld their turn to become worse slaves.

it is rather unfortunate that such is happening.we are just scaring away investors and visitors.i think it's time the gov't waded in to this unfortunate development.

u live ur life only once,ride on.

thanks for the information.

i don't get you.what exactly are you saying.is it runs?if it is then you are not building nigeria.but if not,then go on.

we are all guilty of corruption,even the poorest man.we can't just the university or the gov't.to eradicate it we must all agree.

Apart from the knowing how to speak and write French, other factors are also considered:
1. The student must possess the following:
a. Ability to imitate
b. Ability to memorize
c. Intelligence
d. Motivational spirit
e. Hardworking
f. Prior knowledge of the language
g. Interest in the language

2. The teacher must :

there's a big difference b/w speaking and writing.your children will learn yoruba better if you speak it to them at home.they can retain that faster than who is taught in school,b/c most often children study to pass and not to know.

Bonjour mes amis. Pouvez-vous soulever le message que le conte ci-dessous cherche à nous dire ?
La cigale ayant chanté tous l’été
Se trouva fort dépourvu
Quand la bis fut venue
Pas un seul petit morceau de mouche ou de vermisseau
Elle alla crier famine chez la fourmi sa voisine
La priant et de lui prêter quelque grain pour subsister
Jusqu'à la saison nouvelle
‘’Je vous paierai, lui dit-elle
Avant l’out, foi d’animal, intérêt et principal’’
La fourmi n’est prêteuse
C’est là son moindre défaut
‘’Que fassiez-vous au temps chaud?’’dit-elle à cette emprunteuse
‘’Nuit et jour, à tout venant je chantais.
Ne vous déplaise
Vous chantiez, j’en suis foutaise
Eh bien dansez maintenant.


D’après Jean de la Fontaine



Selon vous, qu’est-ce vous comprenez de ce conte? J’aimerais savoir.

The former head of state of Nigeria, the late General Sanni Abacha in 1996 declared the new status of French as the nation's second official language. Therefore for Nigerians to interact effectively with francophone countries locally and internationally, they should not only be able to only speak the language fluently but also be able to attend international seminars and conferences without much problem. The Nigerian language policy should make provisions for the following areas of communication: Internal communication, international scientific or technical communication. French is one of the international languages most widely used in commerce, scientific and technological research, administration, education, literature etc. With the knowledge of French, Nigerians and Francophone countries will be able to work together in areas of science and technology. This however cannot be achieved if French teachers are not employed or if those employed are not encouraged to teach the language.

There is a growing concern about the attitude of Nigerians towards the study of French in our schools. A good number of them are not sufficiently informed about the usefulness of French in our educational system or its importance as an international language. They feel that people who study French language especially in the tertiary institutions are slow learners, or a course for dumping students who did not pass their intended course of study. And therefore it’s a waste time studying it.

The need for French in Nigeria cannot be over emphasized. Nigeria's geographical, economic, and diplomatic as well as her educational and research needs makes it imperative for her to give adequate attention and priority to the learning of French.

It is therefore necessary to make Nigerians realize the importance of French in our country. Some government officials and individuals are enrolling for French studies in French institutions and private French lessons in the country and this shows that the need for this language exists.
