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:
“I am prisoner of a gaudy and unlivable present, where all forms of human society have reached an extreme of their cycle and there is no imagining what new forms they may assume.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
