nekterý

Některý is a Czech interrogative and indefinite pronoun. It is used to inquire about or refer to an unspecified member of a group or a selection. In English, it can often be translated as "some," "any," "a certain," or "one."

Its grammatical gender, number, and case change depending on the noun it modifies or refers to. For example, "některý muž" (some man), "některá žena" (some woman), and "některé dítě" (some child). The plural forms are "někteří" (masculine animate), "některé" (feminine and neuter), and "někteří" (masculine inanimate).

The pronoun "některý" functions similarly to other indefinite pronouns in Slavic languages, indicating a non-specific individual or item. It is commonly used in both spoken and written Czech. Its usage is crucial for expressing partiality or uncertainty when referring to a quantity or a specific but unnamed entity. For instance, "Některý z nich to udělal" translates to "Some of them did it." The choice between "některý" and its other forms depends entirely on the grammatical context of the sentence.
