"They are old women."

Translation: Jsou to staré ženy.

[RenWild]

Why can't I "Jsou staré ženy"?

[Renan-BR]

Why "Ony" and not "Ona"? I thought feminine plural should be treated as neuter.

[VladaFu]

It should not. Neuter is ona.

[JrgSchmied]

Why is "Jsou ony staré ženy" not accepted?

[VladaFu]

It is a bit strange. The word order is like a question.

If you ask why "Jsou to..." is not like a question then all I can say is that "To jsou.." "Jsou to..." is a very common sentence pattern which has its own rules.

[zippaddee]

Can you also say "Ony jsou staré ženy"? (I made another typo and got it wrong, but this is what i would have typed.

[BoneheadBass]

"Ony jsou staré ženy" is accepted.
