Usage notes
edit- Most Spanish adjectives appear after the modified noun when used attributively. Forms of tercero, however, as with all ordinal numerals, can appear before the modified noun.
- When used before a masculine singular noun, the apocopate form tercer is used instead of tercero:
- Es el tercer hijo.
- [He] is the third son.
- Es el hijo tercero.
- [He] is the third son.
- This adjective is often used substantively, with the modified noun implied but omitted.
- ¿Cuál hijo es? Es el tercero.
- Which son is [he]? [He] is the third [son].
