Ne, NW, SE, and SW are called ordinal directions or intercardinal directions. They represent the intermediate points between the cardinal directions of North, South, East, and West. Specifically, NE stands for Northeast, NW for Northwest, SE for Southeast, and SW for Southwest, providing more precise navigational references.

NW SW NE SE
North East
NE = North East NW = North West SE = South East SW = South West All four of these are cardinal directions.
Northern,Southern,Eastern,Western,NE,SW,NW,SE
Several possibilities: NE, NW, SE, SW
there are at least 4, they are N and S, E and W, NW and SE, NE and SW
The acronym for the cardinal and intercardinal directions on a compass is "Never Eat Soggy Waffles." This mnemonic helps to remember the order: North (N), East (E), South (S), and West (W), along with the intermediate directions: Northeast (NE), Southeast (SE), Southwest (SW), and Northwest (NW).

The "cardinal points" of a compass are north, south, east and west. In between these are the "semi-cardinal" points,, NE, NW, SE, and SW.
Intermediate directions are the directions or points that would fall in between the standard N, S, E, W points on a compass. These include NE, NW, SE, and SW.
