"last person"

[va-diim]

I'm having trouble understanding hard vs. soft adjectives. No other language I've encountered has this. What determines whether it's hard or soft?

Why not posledna osoba?

As a quick and dirty trick, if the adjective ends in í in masculine, it is soft. Nominativ, singular.

Thank you for the trick to recognize it, but when and why would you use it as opposed to a hard adjective?

Posledná osoba is slovak ;)
