Always me... Today is bout Possessive adjectives... N petruv otec (peter's father) G petrova otec (of the peter's father) D petrovu otec (to peter's father) ... Is it right? In my book there are two adj-guide: otcuv and matcin (c with hacek); Does an adjective belong to the first or the second adj-guide depending on the last consonant (hard and soft, just like for nouns)? Thanx in advance [This message has been edited by Kikko (edited August 27, 2002).]
Hi Kikko, The correct way is: N Petruv otec G Petrova otce D Petrovu otci A Petrova otce V Petruv otce (c with hacek) L Petrovu otci I Petrovým otcem You have to change the noun too - otec, otce, otci..., like in muz, muze, muzi... (z with hacek). The difference between "otcuv" and "matcin" is the gender of the noun - masc. (otec) vs. fem. (matka). So when changing masculine nouns into possessives, you'll use "otcuv", and when changing feminine nouns into possessives, you'll use "matcin" Examples: chlapec (boy), syn (son), kamarád (friend - masc.), pes (dog) will have the endings of "otcuv" - chlapcuv, synuv, kamaráduv, psuv dívka (girl), dcera (daughter), kamarádka (friend - fem.), Hanka (fem. name) will have the endings of "matcin" - dívcin, dcerin (r with hacek), kamarádcin, Hancin
