Plural Forms
Like other Slavic languages, Czech distinguishes two different plural forms in the nominative case. For numbers 2 to 4 or in cases where the quantity of the plural noun is not defined in any way, the nominative plural form is used. For higher numbers or when used with a quantifying adjective, the genitive form is used. This declension applies to nouns and adjectives.
| Singular Nominative | 1 dlouhá hodina |
|---|---|
| Nominative Plural (2 to 4 or indefinite) | 2 dlouhé hodiny |
| Genitive Plural (over 4 or quantified) | 5 dlouhých hodin; pár hodin |
(dlouhý - long, hodina - hour, pár - a few; a pair)

Famous quotes containing the word forms:
“Being the dependents of the general government, and looking to its treasury as the source of all their emoluments, the state officers, under whatever names they might pass and by whatever forms their duties might be prescribed, would in effect be the mere stipendiaries and instruments of the central power.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
