I would like to know the question that would elicit the unique answer, 'I am the second [eldest] child of my father'?

You see, in the Dhivehi vernacular it is possible to ask a question that would elicit any specific answer in the nature of the above such as:

I am the third child of my father, I am the fifth child of my mother etc.

Please comment.
