"Takovýchto slov znám mnoho."

Translation: I know many such words.

[Herman671749]

I think that "I know many of such words" should be accepted too.

[ion1122]

No, it should not be accepted. Your English is off. It must be "I know many such words" or "I know a lot of such words".

[KyaKotoka]

I answered with "I know a lot of words like that," it said I should have said "this."

How come? What is the difference?

[KyaKotoka]

I'm fine being wrong just asking for an explanation.

[Jamie08MD]

This course differentiates between "this" (tento; tato; toto) and "that" (tamten, ten; tamta, ta; tamto, to).

takovýto = like this; takový = like that

[2200Lucia60]

So "Takových slov znám mnoho" means I know many words like THAT and "Takovýchto slov znám mnoho" and "Takovýchhle slov znám mnoho" both translate "I know many words like THIS"? (Considering "takovýchto" more formal than "takovýchhle" right?)

[Jamie08MD]

Exactly. All 3 sentences are like you said. The "-hle-" pronouns (if I can call them like this) are all colloquial.

[LetitiateT]

Takových = like that
Takovýchto = like this

[deactivated user]

I know a lot of such words... wasn't accepted, so I reported it. I have had some problems with these sentences; because I wanted the ending -to to mean that/those, similar to previous wordpairs in this session, but no, not here.

[Christine_nl]

is it just me? I hear "známe".

[ValaCZE]

The audio is ok. I hear znám.

[Daniel_Stahl]

Why is "I know many of these kinds of words" wrong.

[Renardo_11]

“Takovýchto slov” (of such words) suggests that the person is talking about one kind of words (similar words), not about different kind-s.

[Veriguel]

Why not "I know many words like that"?

[AgnusOinas]

Please read the discussion before posting. Your question has been answered already. The "-to" at the end of "takových" means it has to be "like this", not "that".
