Jing, and you should hear it in Slovak! We incline the first word as the second sounds uninclinable (I am trying to think if there is any noun ending in -u in Slovak in nominative, but remember none), and lots of time we only use the first word to identify the breed.

So we say things like "I saw a Šibu (š is pronounced as sh) finting with Akitou the other day. All the Akity steel the Šibám their chewing toys all the time. Let's keep good distance from those Akít, I don't like the way they look at us." And it is feminine in Slovak, just to be specific

how interesting and funny!!!! none of the languages i speak are inflective, but i did study Latin for 4 years (but it is not spoken) and even though Czech nor Slovak are Romance languages, I can see many similarities... in classical Latin was the 'problem' of adapting foreign or new words, and names as well..

In the times when we still had borders in Europe I used to hike with my dear American friend Ray Coppinger in the National Park Sumava in the Czech Republic.
As I usually did, we crossed the border illegally on some hidden paths in the swamps.
Ray was a little bit worried getting caught and asked me about the consequences.
i told him that they'ed put us in prison and worst of all, they'ed make us learn the Czech language.
The second point frightened him that much that he asked me to go back immediately...

Dobrou noc,
Michael

I don't know, Michael, from my personal first-hand experience, learning Czech is peanuts to learning French. Of course, the age may have some impact on that

Bonne nuit

Thumbs up

It's a funny topic, and also really interesting... Wow Czech and Slovak looks for sure more difficult than French (For plural we only put an "s" at the end of the word...).
What is the plural used for Czechoslovakian Vlcak in the USA?

I guess that's the point of this thread! There isn't a club stance on it yet, I don't think!
