Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In Slovenia we have three numbers to learn
Singular, dual, plural - watch the patterns turn
Jaz means I, and ti means you
On, ona, ono - he, she, it too

[Chorus]
Nominative, accusative, dative cases three
Jaz becomes mene, then meni you see
Ti becomes tebe, then tebi so clear
Personal pronouns - sing them here

[Verse 2]
Something special that English doesn't show
Dual forms for two - midva, vidva, let's go
Midva means we two, vidva you two there
Onadva they two - dual everywhere

[Chorus]
Nominative, accusative, dative cases three
Midva becomes naju, then nama you see
Vidva becomes vaju, then vama so clear
Dual pronouns - sing them here

[Bridge]
When you want respect or formal tone
Vi not ti - you're not alone
Like Russian capital V for you
Slovenian Vi shows respect too

[Verse 3]
Plural forms complete our pronoun song
Mi and me for we - both forms are strong
Vi and ve for you, oni they all
Three, four, many - plural call

[Chorus]
Nominative, accusative, dative cases three
Mi becomes nas, then nam you see
Vi becomes vas, then vam so clear
All pronouns - sing them here

[Outro]
From jaz to njih, the cases change
Personal pronouns rearrange
Singular, dual, plural way
Slovenian pronouns every day
