How it sounds in a sentence

A word list is a blank. Conversation is made of sentences, and these are the ones the words fit into most often.

What is worth knowing about these words

ura — hour. The time unit and the watch at once — the clock on the wall is also ura. koliko je ura? asks the time of day.

dan — day. Covers both the day and the full twenty-four hours — there is no separate word for the day-and-night round. Two days take the dual: dva dneva.

danes — today. dan plus -es: literally "on this day".

jutri — tomorrow. From jutro, "morning": tomorrow begins in the morning.

How do you say “hour” in Slovenian?
The time unit and the watch at once — the clock on the wall is also ura. koliko je ura? asks the time of day.
How do you say “night” in Slovenian?
Feminine: dolga noč, "a long night". At night is ponoči, also one word.

How do you say “before” in Slovenian?
one word, a conjunction, and the verb after it stands in the present or past — never the future, even for future events: Preden greš, zapri okno, not preden boš šel; unlike ko, where the future is compulsory; the comma before preden always goes in
How do you say “sometimes” in Slovenian?
an ambiguous word, one of the great Slovenian traps: Včasih grem peš, sometimes I walk, but Včasih je bilo drugače, it used to be different; only the tense of the verb decides — with the present it is sometimes, with the past almost always once upon a time

Today, tomorrow, in the morning, at six. You cannot arrange to meet without these — let alone understand the answer.

A list is read in a minute and forgotten in a day. What works: hide the translation, try to recall, get it wrong — and come back to the same words tomorrow.

Recalling beats re-reading. Covering the translation and trying to remember it does more than reading it ten more times.checked many times
