"Kateřina má mnoho bratranců."

Translation: Kateřina has many cousins.

[DarrylMose]

Does "bratranců" mean all male cousins or could this be a mix of male and female cousins?

[Jamie08MD]

If you meant both male and female cousins, you'd have to say "Kateřina má mnoho bratranců a sestřenic."

To answer your question, bratranec (or in plural bratranci) only means male cousin (cousins).

[DarrylMose]

Thanks much for the clarification.

[Ollyfer]

So, the male version of cousins does not include a mixed group? Thanks a lot for the information!

[VladaFu]

no

Dobrý den.

I thought 'bratranců' was the genitive, and I thought 'bratrance' was the accusative. And I thought that 'má' (mít) required the accusative. This sentence undermines one or more of those thoughts.

So where do my thoughts fail me? Thanks in advance.

[VladaFu]

Mnoho, trochu, hodně, málo, pět, deset ... all of these are followed by genitive (a lot OF...).

[JakubCajthaml]

Dekuji. I see. These are the ¨adverbs of quantity¨ plus some cardinal numbers referenced under the Lightbulb.
As I made my way through the lessons, I had forgotten about those, and was focusing solely on the verbs. I think your reminder will clear up some other confusion I had.
I am very glad you are here and willing to help.
