    "Liberečák" is somebody from the city of Liberec (map). "Lavička" means "bench" but in this case it is somebody's surname. "Františkovy Lázně" is spa town (map).

    Sorry, but Víťa Lavička is the nominative case of a first name and a surname. Víťou Lavičkou is the instrumental case.

    Actually, the infinitive is the unconjugated verb form found in a dictionary (e.g. "to be", "to see"), whereas case refers to the usage of nouns, pronouns, and adjectives, specifically (in this instance) nominative refers to the "undeclined" form found in the dictionary. But now I'm starting to sound like one of your school kids ...
