"Jaké barvy byl ten automobil?"

[Mariba66]

Is this plural or genitiv singular? For the colours I mean... And why?

[Rabs]

Exactly what I was wondering!

[kacenka9]

It is singular yes. I am not sure if i understand the "why" part :)

[FreakySam]

I have the same question. Why is it Jaké barvy and not Jaká barva?

[VladaFu]

Basically it is something like "OF what colour is that car?". Therefore genitive in Czech.

You could ask "Jaká barva je toto?" "What colour is this?" Then you are not asking what colour has an object but directly about a colour, which colour is this one.

How does "what kind of color was that car" not work?
