Declension

 * In adjectival use (that is, with a following noun):
 * Nominative, dative, and accusative are always uninflected.
 * The genitive case takes the form  if no article or pronoun is preceding: Vater dreier Kinder – “a father of three children”; but: der Vater der drei Kinder – “the father of the three children”. The form dreier is somewhat elevated; even in formal writing it is sometimes more natural to avoid it (Vater von drei Kindern).
 * In substantival use (that is, without a following noun):
 * Nominative and accusative are uninflected in the contemporary standard language. The form still exists in colloquial German, chiefly in eastern Germany.
 * The dative case may take the form : Ich sprach mit dreien. – “I spoke with three (people).” This rule is usually observed in formal standard German; but when a specification in the genitive case (or with ) is following, the bare form is more common: Ich sprach mit drei der Zeugen. – “I spoke with three of the witnesses.” In colloquial German, dreien is never obligatory.
