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 - 29[]
Czech cardinal numerals from five to twenty-nine behave as if they were adverbs of quantity (málo). The counted object appears in the plural case appropriate for the whole phrase, except if the phrase is in the nominative or accusative, the counted object is in the plural genitive. If the phrase appears as a subject, it gets a singular verb in neuter gender agreement no matter the gender of the noun being counted.
Cardinal numerals 30 to 99[]
Multiples of ten from 30 to 90 resemble twenty in construction and behavior. These numerals are ungendered, in the three cases we know go with the genitive of whatever is being counted, decline in a limited way, and are singular neuter in terms of verb agreement.
