Czech Modifiers: From Basic to Superlative

This vocabulary list provides the tools to describe the world with precision. In Czech, adjectives must match the gender of the noun, while adverbs remain unchanged.

Comparisons:

Czech uses suffixes like -ější/-ší for the comparative (more) and the prefix nej- for the superlative (most). Irregulars like velký → větší are the most common in speech.

Character Traits:

Words like přísný (strict), upřímný (honest), and tvrdohlavý (stubborn) allow you to describe yourself and others in depth.
