Number: number

In Slovenian, Number is an inflectional feature of nouns and proper nouns, and other parts of speech (adjectives, auxiliaries, determiners, numerals, pronouns, verbs) that mark agreement with nouns.

Slovenian distinguishes three Number values: singular, dual and plural. Plurale tantum and Singulare tantum are not explicitly marked and are tagged as plural or singular, respectively.

Sing: singular number

Examples

• kolo “one bicycle”
• en gospod “one gentleman”
• moja pisarna “my office”
• sem “I am”

Dual: dual number

Examples

• kolesi “two bicycles”
• dva gospoda “two gentlemen”
• moji pisarni “my two offices”
• sva “we (two) are”

Plur: plural number

Examples

• kolesa “two bicycles”
• trije gospodi “three gentlemen”
• moje pisarne “my (three or more) offices”
• smo “we (three or four) are”

Conversion from JOS

All tokens with feature Number=singular are converted to Number=Sing, all tokens with Number=dual are converted to Number=Dual and all tokens with Number=plural are converted to Number=Plur.
