مین

ـمین • (-omin)

1. -th; creates ordinal numbers.

   ‏پنجمین‎ ― panj-omin ― fifth

   ‏بیست و یکمین‎ ― bist-o yek-omin ― twenty-first

Persian has two ways to form the ordinals: ـم‎ (-om), and ـمین (-omin). The -om forms have a stronger connotation of labeling, while the -omin forms have a stronger connotation of counting according to a certain criterion. Also, like the cardinals but unlike the -om forms, the -omin forms precede the attributed noun without the ezâfe.

‏خانه سوم خیابان‎ ― xâne-ye sevvom-e xiyâbân ― third house on the street [out of all houses]

‏سومین خانه سیاه خیابان‎ ― sevvomin xâne-ye siyâh-e xiyâbân ― the third black house on the street

For the irregular Arabic-derived plural اول‎ (avval, “first”), the form corresponding to the -omin form is اولین‎ (avvalin, “first”).
