Czech allows you to specify that with a change of one letter depending on who you mean (the CTO - který, the company - která) - this depends on different gender

Czech allows you to specify that with a change of one letter depending on who you mean (the CTO - který, the company - která) - this depends on different genders of the two words, but is commonly used.
- mitchtbaum 8y agoYea, but the desirable language feature is a differentiation of Joyent and its CTO, based on Joyent being an adjective and CTO a noun, not on noun gender. (Did I set up the problem correctly?)
- TomMarius 8y agoYeah I understand, just wanted to point out that some languages have a hack for that. I can't really imagine how would your ideal solution work/look like.
- setr 8y agoI think using `which` instead of `who` would have been sufficient in this case; but this is a non-general fix for similar reasons
- magduf 8y agoAre they officially calling themselves "Czechia" these days? I saw that on Google Maps recently, I think. It certainly is shorter and simpler than "Czech Republic".
- TomMarius 8y agoIt's the oficial short name (the full name is still Czech Republic), local people don't like it much but they're coming around. However I wasn't referring to the country (Czechia/Czech Republic) but to the language (Czech).
