Making plural in Czech language

Ahoj všichni!

Do you know how to make plural in Czech language? If not, you are in the right place! Plural is in Czech language much more complex than English. In English, you just need to put letter "s", but in Czech it is a bit complex.

Learning Czech plural is very important because you will need to use them every day and in every conversation.

As you know, cat is kočka. And two cats are dvě kočky. Now you can see that you just need to delete the last letter and put there "y". But what about house - houses / dům - domy?

Y (you put this just in feminine gender - cat is woman, goat is woman..)

Cats - Kočky
Women - Ženy
Goats - Kozy

I (you put this just in masculine gender - lion is man, dog is man, deer is man..)

Lions - Lvi
Dogs - Psi
Deers - Jeleni

É (you need to use é when you are talking about inhabitants from foreign country)

Friends - Přátelé
Organizers - Pořadatelé
Swedes - Švédové
Americans - Američané
Asians - Asiaté

Facts about czech names & surnames

It's interesting that the majority of female surnames mostly ends with -ová.

I mean, we do not have Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Jackson, but Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Jacksonová

Here is comparios of female and male surnames:

Female------------------------------Male

Tučková----------------------------Tuček
Kloučková-------------------------Klouček
Horáková--------------------------Horák
Nováková-------------------------Novák
Zelenková-------------------------Zelenka
Skákalová-------------------------Skákal

Another interesting fact is that the woman always gets after married surname from her husband. When she is previously named Marie Horáková and her husband Tomáš Novák, her name is Marie Nováková now.

A last point of interest is that if you are not married - wife's name is Nováková and her boyfriend is Horák, your child will always get surname after his/her father, not mother.
