Vtoriy

Vtoriy is the transliteration of the Russian adjective “второй,” meaning the ordinal number that follows the first. It is used to indicate position in a sequence, order, or rank.

Grammatical forms and usage. Vtoriy declines like a standard Russian adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. The main forms are masculine второ́й, feminine вторáя, neuter второe, with plural вторые. In different cases the endings change (for example, genitive второго, dative второму, instrumental вторым).

Common uses include everyday phrases such as второ́й день (the second day), второ́й этаж (the second floor), and in numerical sequences as in первый, второй, третий (first, second, third). It is also used in phrases like во второ́й раз (for the second time) to indicate repetition.

Transliteration and notes. In Latin-script contexts, “vtoriy” may appear as a direct transliteration of the Cyrillic word. While not a common standalone name, the form can appear in branding, file names, or titles where a Russian ordinal is rendered in Latin letters.

Related concepts. Vtoriy is part of a broader system of Russian ordinal numbers, which include primero (первый), третий (third), and others. It interacts with gender agreement, case systems, and stylistic choices in Russian grammar.
