"We are looking for large pigs and a big cow."

Translation: Hledáme velká prasata a velkou krávu.

[HusGhazwi]

Why is it velkou krávu and not velkà kravu ? . Thanks :)

[VladaFu]

It is an object so it is in the accusative case. And the adjective must be in the accusative case as well, so velkou.

[Filomena.Prvni]

U slovíčka "large" byla na Memrise poznámka, že to znamená velký rozlohou. Takže použití kp. na "large fields" - "rozlehlé lány (obilí)". A zde visí u velkých prasat.

[VladaFu]

Nevím, co je Memrise, ale definice large je ve slovnících https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/large

4 a : exceeding most other things of like kind especially in quantity or size : big

a large number of complaints

[Jenda-48]

Ve větě před timto cvičením musi být u donkey "large donkey", "big donkey" je chyba a zde "big cow"být může. Pro mne tedy nelogické,

[VladaFu]

Big donkey je zcela v pořádku.

[Makif0614]

velká prasata is nominative case and velkou krávu is accusative and
preferably designed to teach is that right.

[BoneheadBass]

Both are in the accusative case, as the direct objects of the verb. The nouns and adjectives have different endings because prase is neuter and kráva is feminine.

[ephemerant]

Why isn't it velkého krávu?

[AgnusOinas]

Lol, that sounds hillarious. It there was a man who you'd call "Big Cow", it would be possible, I guess.

Anyway, kráva is feminine and the adjective "velký" must agree with it.

• velký býk (a big bull), masculine animate -> accusative: velkého býka
• velký traktor (a big tractor), masculine inanimate -> accusative: velký traktor
• velká kráva (a big cow), feminine -> accusative: velkou krávu
• velké prase (a big pig), neuter -> accusative: velké prase
• and then the plural forms...
