couldn't we use "those boys are nice" as a translation?

    "Nice" does not mean "hezký" when used for people.

      Should it be "hezčí"?

        Hezčí is the comparative form of hezký.

          Is it allowed to use hesci and hezky?

            'hescí' does not exist. Hezký, used in this sentence, would be non-standard Czech. You need to use the appropriate case ending.

            Why not THESE boys are handsome? Wouldn't 'those' actually be 'tamci'?

              TAMTI - the, those

              TITO - these

                No. The singular is "tamten", so plural must be in animate masculine "tamti"
