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.

For example, ladja "boat" has the genitive plural ladij. However, if the stem ends in lj, nj or rj, then the fill vowel is the normal e and is inserted before both consonants.
