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)
