"I can't see a big fox but a big dog."

Translation: Nevidím velkou lišku, ale velkého psa.

[markscheck]

Are there notes for velkeho? Wouldn't the fox be velkeho as well?

[endless_sleeper]

"Liška" is feminine therefore feminine endings are used.

[HadarLee]

when do you put velkeho and not velkou/a/e?

[VladaFu]

Check the Tips about adjectives and the accusative case.

in the nominative case:

velký (masc.), velká (fem.), velké (neut.)

accusative:

velkého (masc. animate), velký (masc. inanimate), velkou (fem.), velké (neut.)

Jak by to bylo, kdybych chtěl říct "Nemůžu vidět lišku...", taky "I can't see a fox..."?

[kacenka9]

Zalezi na kontextu. Kdyz budete stat u nepruhledneho skla a ja vedle vas a vy reknete "I can't see it" , tak ja budu z kontextu chapat, ze ji videt nemuzete. Kdyz mi ale budete o te prihode vypravet, tak je lepsi, kdyz pouzijete opis, abych pochopila, ze jste ji videt nemohl, nebot vam cosi branilo. Pravdepodobne reknete "I am not able to see it", tedy "nejsem schopen ji videt".

Ono i cesky reknete, ze neco nevidite a pritom to ani videt nemuzete, kvuli vnejsim okolnostem.

[Praha2023]

Velkého is modified due to the accusative case of pes?

[VladaFu]

Yes, the adjective in front of the noun is an agreeing modifier, it agrees with the noun in case, gender and number

[MaximPass]

Is it a difference between "I can't see..." and "I don't see..."?

[VladaFu]

Both are typically translated to Czech in the same way and often indeed mean the same.

[Niki745955]

Isnt it possible to say "nevidím tu velkou lišku, ale toho velkého psa" ?

[AgnusOinas]

No, that's very specifically "that" big fox/dog, or at least "the".

[Niki745955]

Ok díky :)
