    So the word for 'person', osoba is also feminine in Slavic languages, regardless of gender, without it being a loan from Latin. Awesome.

      Osoby (fem) is closer to "persons, individuals"

      Lidé (masc anim) is closer to "people, humans, men..." The singular of lidé is člověk.

          That would be "To jsou mladé osoby";;
