Slovene Numberals - Multiplicative Numbers

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)
