Breakdown of Účetní závěrka má velké množství informací.
Questions & Answers about Účetní závěrka má velké množství informací.
What does each word in Účetní závěrka má velké množství informací mean?
A word-by-word breakdown is:
- účetní = accounting, financial, bookkeeping-related
- závěrka = closing, statement, final report
Together účetní závěrka means financial statement or accounts / financial closing statement, depending on context. - má = has
- velké = big, large
- množství = amount, quantity
- informací = of information / information items
So the structure is basically:
financial statement + has + large amount + of information
Natural English translations might be:
- The financial statement has a large amount of information.
- The financial statement contains a lot of information.
Why is účetní written with -í? Is it an adjective here?
Yes, účetní is an adjective modifying závěrka.
It belongs to a type of Czech adjective whose basic form often ends in -ní or -tí, like:
- účetní = accounting/financial
- státní = state
- jarní = spring
- poslední = last
These adjectives do decline, but many forms look the same. In this sentence, účetní is in the feminine singular nominative, agreeing with závěrka.
So:
- účetní závěrka = financial statement
- účetního roku = of the financial year
- účetním dokladům = to accounting documents
The important point for a learner is: yes, it is an adjective, and here it agrees with the noun závěrka.
What gender is závěrka, and why does that matter?
You can usually guess that because it ends in -a, which is a very common feminine ending in Czech.
That matters because adjectives must agree with the noun they describe. So:
- účetní závěrka = feminine singular
- if it were masculine, the adjective form could be different
- if it were plural, the adjective form would also change
In this sentence, účetní happens to look the same, but the gender still matters grammatically.
Also, závěrka is the subject of the sentence, so the sentence is about the financial statement.
Why is it má?
Má is the 3rd person singular present tense of mít = to have.
Conjugation of mít in the present tense:
- já mám = I have
- ty máš = you have
- on/ona/ono má = he/she/it has
- my máme = we have
- vy máte = you have
- oni/ony mají = they have
Since účetní závěrka is a singular subject, Czech uses má:
- Účetní závěrka má... = The financial statement has...
In this context, má can also be understood as contains.
Why is it velké množství and not velký množství?
Because velké must agree with množství.
The noun množství is:
- neuter
- singular
- here in the accusative form, which looks the same as the nominative
So the adjective must also be neuter singular:
- velké množství = a large amount
Compare:
- velký problém = a big problem masculine
- velká chyba = a big mistake feminine
- velké množství = a large amount neuter
Even though the whole phrase later refers to informací, the adjective velké agrees with množství, not with informací.
Why is informací in that form?
Because after množství Czech normally uses the genitive.
So:
- množství čeho? = amount of what?
- množství informací = amount of information
The form informací is genitive plural of informace.
Basic forms:
- informace = information
- bez informací = without information
- množství informací = a quantity of information
This is very common in Czech after quantity words and nouns such as:
- hodně lidí = many people
- málo času = little time
- množství údajů = an amount of data
- spousta otázek = lots of questions
So the key rule is: quantity expressions often trigger the genitive.
Why is informací plural if English often uses information as an uncountable noun?
Czech often treats informace as a normal countable plural noun in places where English uses uncountable information.
So Czech naturally says:
Even though English usually says a lot of information rather than many informations.
This is one of those places where Czech and English organize the idea differently:
- English: information is usually uncountable
- Czech: informace is commonly used in the plural in quantity expressions
So informací here is completely normal.
Could you also say Účetní závěrka má hodně informací?
Yes. That would be very natural.
Compare the two:
The second one is simpler and more everyday.
The first one sounds a bit more formal, technical, or written.
A rough difference:
- hodně informací = a lot of information
- velké množství informací = a large amount of information
So both are correct, but velké množství sounds more formal.
Could Czech use a different verb than má here?
Yes. Depending on style, Czech could also use verbs like:
- obsahuje = contains
- zahrnuje = includes
- uvádí = states / gives
For example:
But má is still perfectly correct and natural. Czech often uses mít in a broader sense than just possession. It can mean something like:
- has
- contains
- features
So here má is not strange at all.
Is the word order fixed, or can it change?
The neutral word order here is:
This is the most straightforward version: subject + verb + object.
But Czech word order is quite flexible, and changing it can shift emphasis. For example:
- Velké množství informací má účetní závěrka.
This emphasizes velké množství informací. - Účetní závěrka velké množství informací má.
This is possible, but it sounds marked or contrastive.
So yes, the words can move, but the original sentence is the most neutral and standard version.
How do you pronounce Účetní závěrka má velké množství informací?
A helpful rough pronunciation guide for an English speaker is:
- Účetní ≈ OO-chet-nee
- závěrka ≈ ZAA-vyair-ka
- má ≈ maa
- velké ≈ VEL-kay
- množství ≈ MNOZH-stvee
- informací ≈ in-for-ma-tsee
A few important sounds:
- ú is a long oo
- á is a long aa
- é is a long ay
- č sounds like ch in check
- ž sounds like the s in measure
- ř does not appear here, but many learners expect it in Czech words, so no need to worry about it in this sentence
Stress in Czech is normally on the first syllable of each word:
- Účetní
- závěrka
- má
- velké
- množství
- informací
What case is Účetní závěrka in?
It is in the nominative, because it is the subject of the sentence.
You can ask:
Answer:
- Účetní závěrka.
That tells you it is the subject, so nominative makes sense.
The sentence structure is:
- Účetní závěrka = nominative subject
- má = verb
- velké množství informací = object phrase
Is množství singular or plural?
It is singular.
Even though it refers to many pieces of information, the noun itself means amount or quantity, which is a singular idea.
So Czech treats it as singular:
- velké množství informací je důležité = a large amount of information is important
- množství údajů bylo zveřejněno = a quantity of data was published
This is similar to English, where a large amount of information is also grammatically singular.
So in the sentence:
- velké množství = singular noun phrase
- informací = genitive plural dependent on that singular noun
Is this a natural sentence in Czech?
Yes, it is natural, especially in formal, business, accounting, or written contexts.
Because účetní závěrka is a technical term, and velké množství informací is also fairly formal, the whole sentence sounds like something from:
- a textbook
- a report
- a business article
- an explanation of accounting documents
In more casual language, someone might say:
- V účetní závěrce je hodně informací. = There is a lot of information in the financial statement.
- Účetní závěrka obsahuje hodně informací. = The financial statement contains a lot of information.
But the original sentence is definitely correct and natural.
