How do you say five movable parts of the toes?

Dear All,

We have five movable parts of the toes, in English how to say their names one by one?

If you mean the names of the individual toes, I don't believe they are all commonly named. There's the big toe, obviously. And the little toe. In between, not so much naming going on.

You could refer to them according to:

This Little Piggy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Certainly if I said something about my "roast beef toe" I would expect people to understand the reference.

Toes do not have five moveable parts. If you are asking for the name of each toe, you can find that easily in Wikipedia.

But have you ever used names for the second or fourth toe, aside from "second toe" or "fourth toe"? I'm with Dave - big toe, little toe, and not much in between.

Hi,

However, if you are looking for the names of the joints of the toes: Toe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doesn't everybody call their toes biggy, longy, middly, fourthy and titch? I am surprised. ;-)

When I was a very small child, my dad used to call mine Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch, while tickling my toes and making me laugh. For years, I thought he had made up those names!
