6.5 – On your own – sám, sama

You certainly may do things with certain people, but there are also times we do things alone, by ourselves. To express this in Czech, we’ll need the words sám, sama… as illustrated in the chart below:

Each of the forms above correspond to what the subject of the sentences is. In other words, if the subject is masculine, use sám, if the subject is feminine, use sama. If a group of men or a mixed group, use sami, otherwise there is MI and F plural form samy and neuter plural sama.
