Did you know?
- In the Czech Republic, house čísla often come in pairs: one 'conscription number' for the municipality and one 'orientation number' for the street, which can be completely different.
- While English uses 'number' for many things, Czech distinguishes between číslo (an abstract number) and číslovka (a numeral, which is the word used to express the number).
- Czech distinguishes between 'cardinal numbers' for counting and 'ordinal numbers' for order, and the ordinal forms of čísla function like adjectives that must change their endings to match the gender of the noun.
