[Verse 1]
In Slovenia we start with three
Genders that are plain to see
Masculine ends with consonant sound
Like grad for city, friend is prijatelj found
Feminine takes the letter a
Žena means wife, knjiga is your book tra-la
Neuter ends in o or e
Mesto is place, polje means field you see
[Chorus]
Gender, number, case - learn them all
Slovenian nouns will make you call
Singular, dual, plural too
Six cases waiting here for you
Imenovalnik starts the way
Through all six cases we will play
[Verse 2]
Now here's the special Slovenian part
The dual will set your language heart apart
One book is ena knjiga in your hand
Two books are dve knjigi as you planned
Three or more are just knjige plain
The dual for two will keep you sane
Russian speakers know five cases well
Slovenian adds one more to tell
[Chorus]
Gender, number, case - learn them all
Slovenian nouns will make you call
Singular, dual, plural too
Six cases waiting here for you
Imenovalnik starts the way
Through all six cases we will play
[Bridge]
Imenovalnik asks who and what
Rodilnik shows what you have got
Dajalnik gives to whom you send
Tožilnik shows what you defend
Mestnik tells you where it's at
Orodnik shows the tool you pat
[Verse 3]
Practice masculine nouns first they say
Animate and lifeless go different ways
Then feminine with a at the end
Neuter nouns will be your friend
Watch for dan and človek strange
Otrok too will often change
[Outro]
Three genders, dual number, six cases strong
Slovenian nouns will help you sing along
From consonants to a to o and e
