The basic form of one. Changes to jedna or jedno depending on grammatical gender.
Also changes to dve in certain gender contexts. Slovak numbers are highly inflected.
Simple and easy to remember. The i is a short clear vowel.
The šty cluster is a distinctly Slovak sound. Practice the š as in shoe.
The ť is a soft t sound, like the t in tune. The ä is an open e-like vowel.
The final ť softens slightly at the end of the word. A key number for prices.
