[@jennysue601]

Very useful. Finally someone explained it properly unlike my Czech language books. Díky moc.

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Hi Jenny! I'm glad it helped you. There is more magic to it, feel free to download the pdf file from the link underneath the video, if you haven't yet.

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Thank you! I'm happy my videos are helping 👍

[@VietnamKurd]

Thank you so much, your way to teach is the best 👍

[@CzechbyZuzka]

And thank you for for watching!

[@antoniomunozastudillo]

Diky, really nice explanation, maybe you already mentioned in another video, which i haven't seen yet, how about for not specific quatities, for example, "couple of hours", "several days", "few minutes"?

[@CzechbyZuzka]

I think didn't mention this, thank you for the question. These quantifiers would go with plural genitive, so I would be the same form as for 5 and more: 5 hodin, minut, dnů *několik/pár/spousta* hodin, minut, dnů

@@CzechbyZuzka Dekuju 😀

[@kimiaashakery4825]

Delightful!

[@drahmedahamed]

Fantastic explanation, I remember our lesson when you taught us mravenec, mravenci, and mravenců. Thank you!

[@CzechbyZuzka]

I know, especially in summer time it comes in handy to be able to count mravenci in Czech! 🙂 Thank you, and I always appreciate you having a positive approach to the complexity of the Czech language!

[@pumagutten]

Another great video, Zuska! But how would you say girls without a specific number? If you should say Czech girls are pretty, would that be holek?

[@CzechbyZuzka]

We would use the same plural form as for numbers 2-4, 5 and more is a special case (genitive plural). So: holky = girls, 2, 3, 4 holky

[@ludwigkrispenz4944]

Thanks. I can see the move from rok to let, but why isn't it letů ?

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Very good question! When we use the term _let,_ we actually refer to the word _léto_ (summer), which is neuter, therefore 5 let, as, for instance, 5 měst. The same word appears when we translate decades to Czech: léta (summers) as in _50. léta,_ the fifties.

[@ludwigkrispenz4944]

@@CzechbyZuzka thank you very much, it was just my stupid mistake, I looked up the genitive plural for let (=flight) instead of léto

[@CzechbyZuzka]

@@ludwigkrispenz4944 I wouldn't call it a "stupid mistake" since they look so similar! I'm happy it's clear now.

[@biancae262]

When do I use "dvě " and when "dva"?

[@CzechbyZuzka]

*Dva* is used only for masculine gender: Dva domy (2 houses) Dva muži (2 men) *Dvě* is both for feminine and neuter: Dvě ženy (2 women) Dvě hodiny (2 hours) Dvě auta (2 cars) Dvě města (2 towns)

@Lyrical World I explain _jeden, jedna, jedno_ and _dva, dvě_ in this part: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaeye6KbZ7WnnJo

Wait for the accusative animate/inanimate MUHAHAHAHA
