Grammar Notes[]
Recap[]
Czech cardinal numerals from one to four behave like adjectives and decline to match the case of the entity being counted. Where the entities are the subject of the sentence and the number is between two to four, a plural verb is used in agreement. Only one and two are gendered to match the gender of the entity being counted.
Cardinal numbers 5 - 20[]
Beyond five, numerals behave like adverbs of quantity, such as málo (little of, few of), dost (enough of), and hodně (a lot of, many of). As can be seen, these adverbs of quantity gowith the genitive of whatever is being quantified: Červených hrušek máte málo. None of these higher cardinals 5-20 are gendered, although they do decline in a limited way.
