Possible Duplicates:
Framing a question to which the answer is an ordinal number
How to phrase an asking sentence that must be answered with an ordinal number (e.g., the third prime) ?
It is very common in other languages to use the literal equivalents of "How-manyth". But some how English seems to not have that word?
How do I ask a kid?
How-manyth son are you?
(To know whether he is first or second born)
Maybe one more example,
