Dear Anon

Usually you put "th" after the number. However, this changes if your last number shows first, second or third (1, 2 or 3). In that case, it is "st", "nd" or "rd" - this is true for all numbers, even if they are large..

- It was my 1st anniversary

- It was my 2nd anniversary

- It was my 3rd anniversary

- It was my 4th anniversary

- I

English simply does not have a question word that will automatically elicit an ordinal number (like "eighth") as an answer. You can ask "Which president is Barack Obama," and someone might answer "the 44th." But they might also answer "the current president" or "the first Black president." You could ask, "which number president is Barack Obama?", but the answer could be "Number 44" rat

Indeed, we surely do get asked this a lot, but I fail to see what bit of knowledge is lost if someone asks "What number" and gets "44" instead of "How manieth" and gets "the 44th."
