kterékoliv

Kterýkoliv is a Czech indefinite pronoun. It is used to refer to any one person or thing from a group, without specifying which one. It is equivalent to the English phrases "any," "whichever," or "whosoever." The pronoun changes its form based on gender, number, and case, though its usage is generally straightforward.

In its masculine singular nominative form, it is "kterýkoliv." For feminine singular nominative, it is "kterákoliv." The neuter singular nominative is "kterékoliv." Plural forms also exist, adapting to grammatical gender and case. For example, the masculine animate plural nominative is "kteříkoliv."

The pronoun often appears in questions or conditional statements, indicating a lack of specific choice or a general possibility. For instance, "Můžete si vybrat kterýkoliv dort" translates to "You can choose any cake." Similarly, "Kterýkoliv z vás to může udělat" means "Any one of you can do it." The emphasis is on the openness of the selection or the possibility that applies universally within a given context. Its core function is to express indefiniteness, allowing for a broad or unspecified reference.
