Slovak numbering rules
- Digits are specific words, namely nula [0], jeden [1], dva [2], tri [3], štyri [4], päť [5], šesť [6], sedem [7], osem [8] and deväť [9]. The digits one and two are gendered forms: jeden/jedno/jedna (masculine/neuter/feminine) and dva/dve/dve (masculine/neuter/feminine).
- From eleven to nineteen, numbers are suffixed by -násť (-teen): jedenásť [11], dvanásť [12], trinásť [13], štrnásť [14], pätnásť [15], šestnásť [16], sedemnásť [17], osemnásť [18], and devätnásť [19].
- Tens are formed by adding ten (dsať/desiat) to the end of the multiplier digit root, with the obvious exception of ten itself: desať [10], dvadsať [20], tridsať [30], štyridsať [40], päťdesiat [50], šesťdesiat [60], sedemdesiat [70], osemdesiat [80], and deväťdesiat [90].
- For numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine, the unit comes directly after the ten, with no space (e.g.:dvadsaťjeden [21], tridsaťjeden [31]).
- Hundreds are formed the same way as the tens, i.e. by adding the suffix hundred (sto) to the multiplier digit, except for 100 (e.g.: sto [100], dvesto [200], tristo [300]). Sto being neuter, two hundred is dvesto, and not dvasto.
- Thousands follow the same rule, with the word tisíc, except fo 1,000 (e.g.:tisíc [1,000], dvetisíc [2,000], tritisíc [3,000]). Tisíc being neuter, two thousand is dvetisíc, and not dvatisíc.
