Declension

Zwei has a genitive form zweier, e.g. der Vater zweier Kinder "the father of two children".Only when used as a noun, the dative form is zweien: Ich tanzte mit zwei Männern "I danced with two men", but: Ich tanzte mit zweien "I danced with two." This declension is often neglected in colloquial speech, and sometimes also in the standard language.
