Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Slovene
I speak one language [singular form] jaz govorim en jezik
we speak three languages [plural noun] mi govorimo tri jezike
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] on obiskuje veliko držav
they are happy now [plural pronoun] oni so zdaj srečni
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] ona ima pet rdečih čevljev
I want a sandwich without onions [preposition + plural noun] želim sendvič brez čebule

The following is a list of examples showing both the singular and plural form. This demonstrates how the plural is used with humans, objects and animals.

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Slovene by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.

English - Slovene
Help na pomoč!
Call the ambulance pokličite rešilca!
I need a doctor potrebujem zdravnika
Where is the closest pharmacy? kje je najbližja lekarna?
Are you okay? ste v redu?
I am sick bolan sem
Call the police pokličite policijo!
