The latest binary versions are hosted on the Python Package Index (PyPI): https://pypi.org/project/deklinacija/.

pip install deklinacija

Usage

Simply import the package. It is recommended to set the alias to dek.

import deklinacija as dek

As of right now, only first names are supported. To decline names, all you have to do is to call the appropriate function for the grammatical case you want to use, and specify the name and the gender parameter. There is also the third latin parameter, which indicates whether the provided name parameter is written in the Cyrillic or Latin script. Currently, only the Latin script is supported.

The functions in this example return a string.

import deklinacija as dek

changedName1 = dek.genitiv("Velja","male") #Velje
changedName2 = dek.dativ("Petar","male") #Petru
changedName3 = dek.akuzativ("Jana","female") #Janu
changedName4 = dek.instrumental("Uroš","male") #Urošem
changedName5 = dek.instrumental("Vuk","male") #Vukom
changedName6 = dek.lokativ("Lana","female") #Lani

print("Dobili ste zahtev za prijateljstvo od",changedName1) #Dobili ste zahtev za prijateljstvo od Velje - Translation: You have received a friend request from Velja

You can also immediatelly decline a name through all grammatical cases by calling the declineAll() function.

The declineAll() function returns a dictionary.

import deklinacija as dek

Nikola = dek.declineAll("Nikola","male") #{'nominativ': 'Nikola', 'genitiv': 'Nikole', 'dativ': 'Nikoli', 'akuzativ': 'Nikolu', 'instrumental': 'Nikolom', 'lokativ': 'Nikoli'}

print("Dali ste poklon",Nikola['dativ']) #Dali ste poklon Nikoli - Translation: You have given a gift to Nikola
