Usage notes

  • Unlike other cardinal numbers, the ordinal phrasal expression for một is not *thứ một, but thứ nhất (first). Alternatively, "first" can also be translated as đầu tiên (foremost).
  • In quick and informal speech, một is often reduced to a tone-bearing syllabic nasal [m̩] or another homorganic nasal depending on initial of the following word.
