Re: Fourth gender
Veděl jsem, že se nekdo zepta!
Ženský, střední, mužský životný a mužský neživotný.
(There are probably mistakes in there. Mea culpa.)
I knew that someone would ask.
Feminine, neuter, masculine animate and masculine inanimate.
So, for example, "I will have grilled salmon" is "já se dám grilovaného lososa" (got to remember that accusative declension) but "I will have grilled cheese" is "já se dám grilovaný sýr".
I know, it only changes the accusative and not the nominative, genitive, dative, vocative, locative or instrumental but even so, it's different.
And it's impossible to work out, so I have to remember.
A snowman is masculine animate (sněhulák) but a tree (strom) and a forest (les) are masculine inanimate. But trees are alive, while snowmen are not.
