Q: Just as you did with the cardinal numbers, learn the ordinals by repeating the words until you've committed them to memory. The ordinals for first through fifth are: First: "Primo" (PREE-moh) Second: "Secondo" (seh-COHN-doh) Third: "Terzo" (TEHRT-soh) Fourth: "Quarto" (KWAHR-toh) Fifth: "Quinto" (KWEEN-toh) Sixth: "Sesto" (SEHS-toh) Seventh: "Settimo" (SEH-TEE-moh) Eighth: "Ottavo" (OH-TAH-voh) Ninth: "Nono" (NOH-noh) Tenth: "Decimo" (deh-CHEE-moh) In regular speech, you're unlikely to need ordinals past the tenth. However, if you do need to create larger ordinals, simply drop the final vowel of the word for the cardinal number and add the suffix "-esimo." For example, 30th (30, if writing in Italian) would be "ventesimo" (vehn-TEH-see-moh). Note that when pronouncing the word, the stress falls on the first syllable of the suffix. If you ever had any reason to mention the 642nd, you would write "seicentoquarantaduesimo." In English, you might refer to the "first of April" or "September eleventh." However, ordinals are never used this way in Italian. When speaking of a date, use the regular cardinal number, regardless of whether you say the day of the month before or after the name of the month. For example, if you were discussing April Fools' Day, and wanted to tell an Italian friend that it occurred on the first of April every year, you would say "uno Aprile," not "primo Aprile."
A: Start with the ordinals for first through fifth. Continue with the ordinals for sixth through tenth. Add the suffix "-esimo" to form ordinals beyond the tenth. Avoid using ordinal numbers for dates.

Article: Fraternities may have similar goals of cultivating friendships and taking part in campus life, but no two fraternities approach these goals the same way. Each fraternity has a different charter, plans different events, and focuses on different aspects of campus life. With this in mind, you should meet with a wide array of fraternities as early as possible in your school's recruitment process. You may find that some fraternities put too much emphasis on social events while you're more interested in a fraternity that will be conducive to academic and leadership skills, or vice versa. Each fraternity will hold several events early in the semester during what is most often referred to as "rush week" to drum up interest in potential recruits. Spend the first night or two of rush week sampling events at as many fraternities as possible to determine which one best suits your personality and goals for life on campus. In addition to simply meeting people, keep track of what life as part of each community will entail. The parties and free food of rush week aren't necessarily emblematic of day-to-day life in the fraternity. Don't be scared to ask a lot of questions about what the fraternity's pledging process is like, the type of expenditure you can expect related to dues, the types of commitments you're expected to make concerning study hours as well as campus and community events, and whether joining means living in the fraternity's house or elsewhere. Not only does this assist you in deciding which frats truly interest you, but you'll network with a ton of people in the process. You'll likely find lists of these events wherever campus clubs and groups are allowed to advertise, including bulletin boards, sandwich boards, etc. After getting a sense of a wide array of fraternities and what each one is about, create a short list of the ones that most appealed to you. Once you know which houses you're interested in learning more about, you can schedule the rest of your rush week to attend more of their events. This is dependent upon how many fraternities are on your list, but spend an extra day of rush week meeting with as many brothers of each fraternity on your list as possible. You may learn that your initial impression of a fraternity wasn't quite what you thought or that while you like the focus of a certain fraternity, you're unsure of how well you fit with the brothers with whom you will be in constant interaction. Remember during these interactions that it's their job to sell their fraternity, and it's your job to just be yourself. Be pleasant yet honest with all of the brothers with whom you meet. If you're not interested in their fraternity, that's perfectly okay. Pretending you're interested in order to receive the most bids possible will ultimately waste your time and theirs. Continue narrowing down your list as you compile more information information on each, but don't worry about narrowing the list down to a single fraternity. Much like applying to colleges in general, wide participation in a single fraternity's rush week doesn't guarantee they will extend a bid for you to join. By keeping your options spread three or so fraternities, you raise your changes of getting into one of them. Depending upon the demand of the fraternities on your list, they may hold offering bids to potential recruits until late in rush week, or they may start offering them early on if they find people they believe are a perfect fit. Don't feel pressures to come back with a response immediately. In addition to accepting or declining a bid, most fraternities will allow you to place a hold on the bid while you continue weighting your options. Make sure you fully understand the specifics of putting a hold on your bid. You don't want to miss a spot in the fraternity you ultimately choose because you responded too late. After spending time with a few different fraternities that you feel are the right fit, you'll hopefully receive a bid from at least one. Take the proper amount of time to weigh your options and choose the one that most complements your personality, goals on campus, and expected level of interaction. When you accept a bid from a fraternity, they will then make it official by having you sign a "bid card," though it may have a different name in your specific frat.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Decide what type of fraternity you want to join. Attend events at several different fraternities. Create a narrowed list. Meet with as many brothers of each fraternity on your list as possible. Manage your bids. Choose your fraternity.

Q: Talk to your doctor about taking NSAIDs to help you deal with pain as you recover. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work to reduce swelling and relieve the pain caused by your ankle injury. Common over-the-counter NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (Naprosyn). Talk to your doctor before using NSAIDs if you have heart problems, a history of stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, kidney damage, or diabetes. Celecoxib (Celebrex®️) works well to reduce inflammation caused by an ankle injury. This is because it controls the production of prostaglandins, which cause inflammation. You will need a prescription from your doctor for this medication. You should take celecoxib after a meal, because taking it on an empty stomach could lead to a stomachache. Piroxicam works by stopping prostaglandin formation. It has a sublingual form that melts under the tongue and goes directly to the blood so that it reduces swelling quickly. Surgical therapy is rarely done for ankle sprains. It is only done in severe ankle sprains that do not respond to months of rehabilitation and medical therapy. If your ankle sprain is severe and has not improved after a long period of rehabilitation, ask your doctor if this may be a good option for you.
A:
Take NSAIDs with your doctor's approval. Ask your doctor about celecoxib. Discuss piroxicam with your doctor. Talk to your doctor about surgery as a last resort.
