Slovenian phrasebook

Slovenian (slovenski jezik) or Slovene (slovenščina) is the national language of Slovenia, an official regional language in southern Austria and northeastern Italy and one of the EU's official languages. It is not be confused with Slovak (slovenčina). Slovenian is a South Slavic language closely related to Serbian and Croatian and spoken by approximately 2.4 million speakers worldwide. In Slovenia, you may face some problems with understanding, even if you speak Slovene, because of the 56 dialects that are spoken in Slovenia.

Slovenian belongs to the "synthetic" language group, which means that unlike English and other "analytical" languages, different grammatical aspects are expressed in one word by changing the structure of that word—adding an ending or prefix, modifying the core of the word, etc. In analytical languages such as English, the same is achieved by using separate auxiliary verbs, pronouns or adjectives while the actual word remains unchanged. In Slovenian, one word is often sufficient to express what English can achieve only by using multiple words.
