Usage Note
Cuarto is the ordinal 'fourth' (el cuarto piso) but also a common noun meaning 'room' (mi cuarto = my room/bedroom). Unlike primero and tercero, it does not apocopate before a noun. In telling time, un cuarto means 'a quarter' (las tres y cuarto = quarter past three).
Examples
"Mi cuarto está en el segundo piso."
Natural Translation
My room is on the second floor.
