"Zeroth" in Italian?

Swirlyman · 07-20-2005, 07:53 PM

I realize this is not used very often, but how would one say the ordinal form of zero (zeroth)?

Jay Ar · 07-21-2005, 09:23 AM

yes, that would be zeroth. the zeroth, the first, the second, etc..
but I think you posted your question in the wrong forum, I don't see how this is relevant to italian

Cheers

In Italian don't exist the ordinal form of zero,one says ever zero(0)

I have never encountered the ordinal of zero in English. Or any other language for that matter.
It must be a very recent neologism.
In what context(s) is it used?

I finally found the Italian word, it is "zeresimo".
I found it by looking up "Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics" in Wikipekia, then viewing the same entry in Italian.
Zeroth is used mostly in mathematics, but sometimes in other contexts, as here.
