===Czech=== In [[Czech language|Czech]], the words {{lang|cs|euro}} and {{lang|cs|cent}} are spelt the same as in English and pronounced per Czech phonology {{IPA|cs|ˈɛuro|}}, {{IPA|[tsɛnt]}}. Occasionally the word ''eurocent'' is used instead of {{lang|cs|cent}} to distinguish the euro denomination versus its foreign counterparts. The spelling differs from the Czech word for Europe (''Evropa''); however "euro-" has become a standard prefix for all things relating to the EU (''Evropská unie''). The [[Czech declension]] uses different form of [[plural]] for various numerals: for 2, 3 and 4, it is plain [[nominative]] {{lang|cs|eura}} and {{lang|cs|centy}}, while for numbers above 5, [[genitive]] (a vestige of [[partitive]]) ''eur'' and ''centů'' is used. For compound numerals, there are two variants: either genitive plural is used ({{lang|cs|21 eur}}, {{lang|cs|22 eur}}) or the form is determined by the unit part of the numeral ({{lang|cs|21 euro}}, {{lang|cs|22 eura}}). The partitive genitive is used only when the whole numeral phrase is in nominative or accusative phrases, otherwise the expected case is used: {{lang|cs|sedm eur}} (7 euros-genitive), but {{lang|cs|se sedmi eury}} (with seven-instrumental euro-instrumental). Moreover, these otherwise common declensions are often ignored and non-declined {{lang|cs|euro}} is used for every value ({{lang|cs|22 euro}}), even though this form is [[linguistic prescription|proscribed]]. In Czech {{lang|cs|euro}} is of [[neuter gender]] and inflected like ''město'', while {{lang|cs|cent}} is masculine and inflected like ''hrad''.
