1. nounsecond (in a series)
   しかし、彼女かのじょが一ひとつ目めのグラスを持ち上もちあげ、水みずをこぼした後あとでは二ふたつ目めのグラスはどうするであろうか。↗

   But after she does that with the first glass, what is she going to do with the second one?

• Synonym第二だいにNeutralFormal Sino-Japanese ordinal used in set expressions like 「第二章」「第二次」; 「二つ目」 is the colloquial choice for the second item counted.
• Synonym二番目にばんめNeutralAlso means the second item; when counting order it mostly swaps with 「二つ目」, but for ranking or degree, as in 「二番目に速い」, only it works.
• RelatedセカンドNeutralColloquial loanword: second in general, also second base in baseball and second gear in a car; its use leans toward sports and machinery.
• Related二号にごうNeutralMeans number two, and in older usage could also hint at a mistress; its uses are fairly specialized, so ordinary counting prefers 「二つ目」 or 「二番目」.
• Related二番にばんNeutralCovers second place or number two: ranking, order, or numbering, as in 「二番の問題」; 「二つ目」 sticks to counting items.

Count the second item with 「二つ目」, as in 「二つ目の角」; 「二番目」 works too. Use 「第二」 for formal ordinals and 「二番」 for numbering and rankings. 「セカンド」 leans toward sports and machinery, and 「二号」, which once also hinted at a mistress, has more specialized uses.
