Consejos y trucos (4)

💡

The 14/16 rule

Remember that 14 and 16 lose a letter. It's 'četrnaest' and 'šesnaest'.

💡

Consistency

Once you learn the base numbers, the tens are free points!

The 'i' Bridge

Always visualize a bridge when you say 'i'. It connects the big tens to the small ones.

Numbers 5 and above require the genitive plural form of the noun.

Wrong: Pet prijatelji.
