In this paper, I will going to talk another issue in Pashto grammar is about "Ordinal numerals in Pashto grammar that means typically identify the position a given member of a set occupies relative to other members of the same set "ex. the fourth day" . Cardinal numerals, we understand the set of numerals used in attributive quantification of nouns.
