Usage

The word "101st" is used to indicate rank, order, or position in a series. It follows the standard pattern for forming ordinal numbers in English (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 101st).

Advanced Usage

• Figurative Use for "Introductory": In informal, often humorous contexts, "101" (pronounced "one-oh-one") can mean "basic" or "introductory" (e.g., "Economics 101"). The ordinal "101st" is not typically used in this figurative sense.

Notes

"101st" is pronounced "one hundred and first" or "one-oh-first." It is a compound ordinal numeral formed by combining the cardinal number "one hundred one" with the ordinal suffix "-st," which is used for numbers ending in 1 (except 11, which uses -th).
