About Adjectives
Adjectives are a flexible part of speech. They indicate properties of nouns and possessive relationships.
There are three main groups of adjectives:
hard, soft, and possessive
Soft adjectives:
Soft adjectives end with "-Í"
The forms of the soft adjectives in the masculine, feminine, and neuter are exactly the same.
(cizí muž - a foreign man, cízí žena - a foreign woman, cizí dítě - a foreign child, cizí muži - foreign men, cizí ženy - foreign women, cízí děti - foreign children)
Hard adjectives:
Hard adjectives always change their form according to the gender and number of the noun.
Hard adjectives end with:
(for singular - plural)
masculine: Ý - Í
feminine: Á - É
neuter: É - Á
They inflect according to the model adjective "mladý" (young)
(mladý chlapec - a young boy, mladá dívka - a young girl, mladé dítě - a young child, mladí muži - young men, mladé ženy - young women, mladé děti - young children)
Possessive adjectives:
They say something or someone belongs to something or someone.
(tátův kamarád - a father's friend, chlapcův míč - a boy's ball)
note
All Czech adjectives, except the possessive ones, end with a long vowel.
