Possessive adjectives for masculine and neuter possessed nouns add -ov (or -ev if the possessive noun ends in c, č, ž, š and j ("preglas")) to the possessive noun. Feminine possessed nouns always take -in. Possessive nouns can include proper names, in which case they are written capitalized. [4] [5] [7]
A heated and long-running dispute has occupied this and other pages regarding the relative merits of the terms Slovene and Slovenian as both nouns and adjectives referring to Slovenia and its people. Various historical, etymological, cultural, aesthetic, and logical arguments can be made to support the "correctness" of either term.
Nouns with a stem whose pronunciation ends in /-ɾ/ or a vowel (not to be confused with a noun having a vowel ending in nominative singular) have an added -j-when an ending is attached, such as tȃksi tȃksija 'taxi' and redár redárja 'security guard at a public event'. There are exceptions, though.
Slovene nouns retain six of the seven Slavic noun cases: nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, locative, and instrumental. There is no distinct vocative; the nominative is used in that role. Nouns, adjectives, and pronouns have three numbers: singular, dual, and plural. Nouns in Slovene are either masculine, feminine, or neuter gender.
