Chapter 5. Colloquial Czech

Table of Contents

5.1. Cos, kdys, jaks...
5.2. Suffix in plural of neuter

The annotation should distinguish between colloquial lemmas (e.g. Rusák (Russian) instead of the standard Rus) and colloquial forms of standard lemmas (e.g. zelenej (green) instead of the standard zelený). The former should be marked in the AddInfo of the lemma (Rusák_;E_,h), the latter should be indicated by the VAR field of the morphological tag. The values of 6, 5, 7, and sometimes also 3 may be applicable; in most common cases, 6 is used (zelený / AAIS1----1A---6). See also the section called "15 - Variant".
