文化背景

The phrase reflects the influence of modern global media on the Arabic language, where ranking systems and 'Top 10' lists are ubiquitous. While traditional Arabic used different structures for hierarchy, this specific phrasing is now the standard in journalism and sports across the Middle East. It highlights the shift towards standardized ordinal numbering in professional contexts.

💡

Gender Agreement

Always remember that 'المرتبة' is feminine, so you must use 'العاشرة' (with the Ta Marbuta) to match it.

⚠️

Don't confuse with 'Ten'

Never use 'عشرة' (the number 10) when you mean 'tenth'. It's like the difference between 'ten' and 'tenth' in English.

What It Means

This expression is your go-to for ranking things. It places an item exactly at number ten. In Arabic, المرتبة means rank or position. العاشرة is the ordinal form of ten. Together, they create a specific spot in a list. It is very common in sports and news. It can also be used figuratively. If you say a task is في المرتبة العاشرة, it is not a priority. You are basically saying, "I will get to it eventually."

How To Use It

You usually pair this with specific verbs. Use جاء (came) or حلّ (occupied/landed). For example, جاء المتسابق في المرتبة العاشرة. This means the runner finished tenth. You can also use it with احتل (occupied) for more formal contexts. It always follows the noun it describes. Remember that المرتبة is feminine. Therefore, the number العاشرة must also be feminine. It sounds very natural in both speech and writing.

When To Use It

Use it when discussing sports results or global statistics. It is perfect for business meetings. You might rank your company's performance. Use it when talking about your favorite things. "My favorite food is tenth on this list!" It works well in academic writing too. Use it to describe data or survey results. It is a very versatile phrase for any sequence.

When NOT To Use It

Do not use this for simple counting. If you have ten apples, do not use المرتبة. Use the cardinal number عشرة instead. Avoid using it for time. You would not say "the tenth hour" this way. Also, do not use it for people's ages. It is strictly for rankings and hierarchies. Using it for a simple count sounds very strange.

Cultural Background

Arabic culture values order and hierarchy. Modern Arab media loves "Top 10" lists just like Western media. You will see this phrase in newspapers daily. It is common in football (soccer) commentary. Fans love debating if their team is in the top ten. It reflects a modern, organized way of viewing the world. It has become a staple of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).

Common Variations

You might hear المركز العاشر (the tenth center/spot). This is almost identical in meaning. المركز is masculine, so العاشر is used. In some dialects, people might just say رقم عشرة (number ten). However, في المرتبة العاشرة sounds more sophisticated and precise. It shows you have a high level of Arabic. Use it to impress your friends with your accuracy.

使用说明

This is a formal to neutral expression. Ensure gender agreement between the noun and the ordinal number. It is most frequently found in media, sports, and professional contexts.

It means 'in the tenth place' or 'in the tenth rank.' It is used to specify a position in a list or competition.

They are nearly identical. 'المرتبة' is feminine, while 'المركز' is masculine. Both are used for rankings.

Yes, you can say هو في المرتبة العاشرة (He is in the tenth rank) if you are talking about a class ranking or a race.

It is primarily Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), but it is understood by everyone. In dialects, people might say رقم عشرة more often.

Verbs like جاء (came), حلّ (landed), and احتل (occupied) are the most common and natural choices.

Because it must agree with the feminine noun المرتبة. If you used the masculine المركز, you would say العاشر.

No, for 'ten times' you should use عشر مرات. This phrase is only for ranking position.

It depends on the context! In a global ranking of 200 countries, it's great. In a race of 10 people, it's last place.

No, for the tenth of the month, you would say العاشر من.... You don't use the word المرتبة for dates.

Absolutely. It is the standard way to present data and rankings in formal Arabic reports and news.

You would say في المرتبة الأولى. The structure remains the same, just change the ordinal number.

Yes! It's a great way to talk about your top 10 lists of movies, books, or food.
