Multiplicative Numbers
These are adjectives that denote a certain multiplication of something, similar to suffixing -fold in English. They are formed in two possible ways, with more or less the same meaning:
- enójen, dvójen, trójen, četvóren, petórno (single, double, triple, quadraple, fivefold/quintuple) – used to name the amount of parts (dvojni ulomek (double fraction))
- enkraten, dvakraten, trikraten, štirikraten, petkraten (essentially the same meaning, but less often used)

Famous quotes containing the word numbers:
“I had but three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship; three for society. When visitors came in larger and unexpected numbers there was but the third chair for them all, but they generally economized the room by standing up.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
