Czech Numbers: Counting, Gender, and Case

This vocabulary list provides a complete overview of the Czech numerical system. It covers simple counting and the complex declension of numbers 1–4, which are treated as inflected parts of speech.

Small Numbers (1-4):

These are the most complex. They change based on the case: jednomu (Dative), bez dvou (Genitive), třemi (Instrumental). Memorize these forms as they appear frequently.

Hundreds and Thousands:

Czech has specific plural forms for "hundred": sto (100), dvě stě (200), tři sta (300/400), and pět set (500+). Thousands follow a similar logic.

The HáCZech Learning Path:

  • Step 1: Focus on counting 1–20 first; these are the building blocks.
  • Step 2: Learn the different forms of "one" (jeden, jedna, jedno) for different genders.
  • Step 3: Use the 🧠 Practice and 📝 Test links to drill the declension of 1–4.
