Czech numbers are already challenging, and on top of that, we like to use informal forms, especially when referring to numbers on public transport.

1 = jednička (number one): Jedu jedničkou. - I'm taking the number one (tram, bus). 🚊
2 = dvojka: Jedu dvojkou
3 = trojka: Jedu trojkou.
4 = čtyřka: Jedu čtyřkou.
5 = pětka: Jedu pětkou.

We even use it for higher numbers:
21 = dvacetjednička (or jednadvacítka)
176 = sto sedmdesát šestka

💬 Can you understand these forms when locals speak?
And do you use them?
