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