Appendix:Czech nouns

All nouns in Czech have four grammatical components: Case, Number, Gender, and Declension.

Cases

There are seven cases:

1. nominative case
2. genitive case
3. dative case
4. accusative case
5. vocative case
6. locative case
7. instrumental case

Number

Czech is more complex when using nouns for collections of objects. Much in the same way an "s" is appended to english nouns, in Czech nouns can be appended with either "i", "y", "ata", "e", "ové", "ně", "a", or "ěti", depending on the word.

Gender

The gender of a noun is determined by it's ending. Nouns have three genders: feminine, masculine, and neuter.

Masculine nouns nearly always end with a consonant, feminine nouns end with an -a, and neuter nouns usually end with an -o.
