"Ty ulice jsou hezké."

Translation: The streets are pretty.

[serb08]

I replied: "The streets are beautiful"; which was graded wrong.
The correct answer was: "The streets are pretty."

"Pretty" and "Beautiful" are a synonym, so both should be correct.

No, beatiful is stronger - krásný.

[Eburiden]

Why is the answer "These streets are pretty" not accepted? It is more of a demonstrative pronoun than an article.

[J.C.M.H.]

"These streets are pretty" -> Tyto/tyhle ulice jsou hezké.

[VladaFu]

A small correction - not tenty but tyto.

[J.C.M.H.]

Thanks. My mistake was to decline -to: tento -> *tenty :)

Is ulice both singular and plural?

[endless_sleeper]

Yep.

[DevilInThe]

"ulice" is feminine in Czech? Doesn't looks like its neuter.

[Nemesis_NaR]

It is "ta ulice" indeed.

[Michiel80]

Why is it "hezké and not "hezcé" ?

[Marko195]

This form "hezce" does not exist. Only "hezke", it is used for all genders except for masculine aminate (hezci) and neuter gender (hezka).

[zippaddee]

I used "road" instead of "street" ("The roads are pretty") Is that really wrong? I could imagine a distinction like улица vs. дорога in Russian.

[VladaFu]

ulice is really a street (except some English streets have "road" in their name) and a road is silnice, cesta
