"V tom novém hotelu je dvacet pokojů."

Translation: There are twenty rooms in the new hotel.

[Por-fish]

Ahoj! Prominte, What's the difference between "místnosti" and "pokoju"?

[VladaFu]

Místnost is more general, it can be any room - kitchen, a storage room... Pokoj is a room where you live - a bedroom, a living room.

In a hotel you generaly use pokoj, those are the rooms for the guests. Místnost can be any room in the hotel and can have any purpose.

[Hatch-Slack]

Proč "je" a ne "jsou" dvacet pokojů?

[VladaFu]

Review the tips and notes of skill Numbers 2. Numbers 5 and higher behave the same way as adverbs "hodně", "málo" and others.

[Hatch-Slack]

Thanks a lot!

[Mel32329]

Yes - was just about to ask that - thank you!

Hello, is there a difference between "in that new hotel are twenty rooms"?

[nueby]

Use There is/are ... for this sentence type. The direct translation from Czech is horribly awkward.

[snikta]

so what case is pokoju please (sorry can't put in accent) and why

[VladaFu]

genitive, numbers above four work that way, see the Tips and notes.

[Alex.Eisner]

I'm unclear regarding when to use novém.
