In the perspective of European-descendent theory, the degrees of any key or scale (major, minor, or modal) can be classified as follows:
1 - Tonic
2 - Supertonic
3 - Mediant
4 - Subdominant
5 - Dominant
6 - Submediant
7 - Leading Tone
Let us take the case of C major as our key/scale:
C - Tonic
D - Supertonic
E - Mediant
F - Subdominant
G - Dominant
A - Submediant
B - Leading Tone
Similarily, this works in the minor keys, too. Using A natural harmonic as our key/scale:
A - Tonic
B - Supertonic
C - Mediant
D - Subdominant
E - Dominant
F - Submediant
G - Leading Tone
