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., dvadsaťjeden 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., dvadsaťjeden chlapov prišlo). In grammatical cases other than the nominative and accusative, the declined forms of the numeral are more common. ==== Coordinate terms ==== === Further reading === “dvadsaťjeden”, in Slovníkový portál Jazykovedného ústavu Ľ.
