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)
