### Eleventh to Thirteenth

The ordinal numbers from eleven to twenty are formed similarly to the ones you have already learned. Because they function as adjectives, their default masculine nominative forms end in **-i**:
- **jedanaesti** (eleventh)
- **dvanaesti** (twelfth)
- **trinaesti** (thirteenth)

When a specific date (**datum**) is the subject of a sentence, the ordinal number stays in the nominative case.

However, to say that an event, such as a birthday or an anniversary (**godišnjica**), happens *on* a specific date, Croatian uses the **genitive case** instead of a preposition. 

To form this, change the ordinal number's ending to **-og**. The month that follows will also take the genitive case.
- **jedanaesti** → **jedanaestog** (on the eleventh)
- **dvanaesti** → **dvanaestog** (on the twelfth)

### Fourteenth to Twentieth

The pattern is exactly the same for the remaining teens up to the twentieth (**dvadeseti**). When expressing when an event takes place, drop the **-i** and add **-og**:
- **četrnaesti** → **četrnaestog** (on the fourteenth)
- **petnaesti** → **petnaestog** (on the fifteenth)
- **šesnaesti** → **šesnaestog** (on the sixteenth)
- **sedamnaesti** → **sedamnaestog** (on the seventeenth)
- **osamnaesti** → **osamnaestog** (on the eighteenth)
- **devetnaesti** → **devetnaestog** (on the nineteenth)
- **dvadeseti** → **dvadesetog** (on the twentieth)

This genitive form is also perfectly suited for prepositions like **do** (by, until), which always trigger the genitive case.
