      Usage notes

      [edit]

      Numerals from 5 to 999,999 can either be declined or used as indeclinable words, with the exception of those ending in -jeden, -sto, or -tisíc (excluding the word tisíc itself), which are strictly indeclinable. When a numeral in this range is used in its basic lemma form in the nominative or accusative, the associated noun must be in the genitive plural (e.g., šesť chlapov). If such a numeral-noun phrase serves as the subject of a sentence, the verb takes the third-person neuter singular form (e.g., šesť chlapov prišlo). In grammatical cases other than the nominative and accusative, the declined forms of the numeral are more common.
