dates & numbers

· števniki in datumi

the 5th of May → petega maja (both genitive)

A date uses an ordinal number in the genitive, with the month also in the genitive: petega maja (on the 5th of May), prvega januarja (on the 1st of January). A span uses od … do + genitive: od prvega do petega (from the 1st to the 5th). Stating today's date is nominative: Danes je tretji junij. Cardinal numbers also decline — z dvema prijateljema (with two friends). Fractions: polovica (half), tretjina (a third), četrtina (a quarter).
