"Jsou veliké?"

Translation: Are they big?

[cboteros]

I wrote "are those big?" And Duolingo days that the correct answers is "are they big?". Why my sentence is not correct? I thought that "Jsou" cloud mean either "they" or "those"

[BoneheadBass]

You are right that jsou TO can mean both "they are" and "those are." But here -- without the TO -- jsou just means "they are."

So in this case, is "they" a bunch of neuter nouns?

[VladaFu]

No, neuter would be "Jsou veliká?" in standard Czech. Here it is feminine or inanimate masculine.

[Desi2508]

Would someone please explain what is the difference between "veliké" and "velicí"?

[VladaFu]

Veliké is feminine, velicí masculine. Velicí muži, veliké ženy, veliká děvčata.

[Desi2508]

That makes sense, thank you for the explanation!

Is velké an alternative form of veliké? If yes, which one is more common?

[VladaFu]

Yes, it is an alternative. Velký(á,é) is more common. http://syd.korpus.cz/aTzxo1wb.syn

[Kruska42]

I still don't quite understand when i should use veliká or velká

[VladaFu]

They are equivalent and both belong to feminine singular or neuter plural.
