ONCE upon a time a peacock and a tortoise became great friends. The peacock lived on a tree by the banks of the stream in which the tortoise had his home. Everyday, after he had a drink of water, the peacock will dance near the stream to the amusement of his tortoise friend.
One unfortunate day, a bird-catcher caught the peacock and was about to take him away to the market. The unhappy bird begged his captor to allow him to bid his friend, the tortoise good-bye.
The bird-catcher allowed him his request and took him to the tortoise. The tortoise was greatly disturbed to see his friend a captive.
The tortoise asked the bird-catcher to let the peacock go in return for an expensive present. The bird-catcher agreed. The tortoise then, dived into the water and in a few seconds came up with a handsome pearl, to the great astonishment of the bird-catcher.

قضیه از این قراره که ما تو انگلیسی ساختاری با نام "چندمین" نداریم. یعنی اینکه تو انگلیسی شما نمی تونین از کسی مثلا بپرسین "شما چندمین فرزند خونواده هستین" !!! (میتونین حتی از بهترین استادان زبان هم بپرسین تا ببینین چطور هنگ می کنین! (واسه رو کم کنی هم که شده امتحان کنین!).

و جالب اینجاس که ما جوابشو تو انگلیسی داریم. یعنی مثلا وقتی از کسی میپرسیم "این چندمین ازدواج شماست؟" خیلی راحت می تونه در جواب به انگلیسی بگه: "this is my second marriage" اما نمیتونیم به صورت مستقیم از کسی بپرسیم که "این چندمین ازدواج شماست؟".
