Branimire, postoji razlika kako je češki saradnik Vlada objasnio.
U češkom je to drugačije nego u našem jeziku.
"Ti" se koristi samo za sve žive imenice muškog roda u množini, dok "Ty" za sve nežive imenice muškog roda kao što je "Hrady" (neživa imenica muškog roda u množini), ali i generalno (i nežive i žive) imenice ženskog roda u množini kao što su "Ženy" (živa imenica ženskog roda) i "Tabulky" (neživa imenica ženskog roda).
Pozdrav :)
Please see my comment below regarding why velcí is not correct here.
I don't know what the other sentence was, but I would guess that it probably used the to jsou or jsou to construction. In those constructions, the to usually stands for "they" or "those"... but it does not directly modify a noun. Here, ty is a demonstrative pronoun modifying hrady, indicating that we're talking about some specific ("those") castles.
That would be because velcí is used for masculine animate nouns. You can see the full declension at this handy site (click Show Declension) if the table isn't visible: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/velk%C3%BD.
