Why can't I use holka here?

[VladaFu]

You certainly can. If a sentence you tried was rejected, you have to tell us your complete answer, otherwise no-one can help you. If you are almost sure your answer is supposed to be correct, you should press "My answer should be accepted".

[UR70hNsU]

If we do use holka here for girl and not děvče, does "zvláštní" change at all? Or does this adjective always end in the í?
Díky!

[VladaFu]

It follows the soft declension pattern so it is always -í in nominative. Check the Tips and notes for more.

[J.B.G.]

Strange has a negative connotation, does zvláštní have that to or is it more like different/special

[VladaFu]

Can have, but all depends on the context. Strange does not have to be negative either.

[AgnusOinas]

"zvláštní" can also mean "special"

[Oddyss3y]

What is the difference between holka and děvcě?

I understand either is acceptable here, but is there any time that one would be preferable over the other?
