Usage notes

 * The gender of the word Olomouc is feminine in standard Czech, but in the past it used to be masculine inanimate, which is still kept in Moravian dialects. The declension of the name itself differs in both genders only in the instrumental case (feminine:, masculine: ), but it also influences the declension of neighbouring adjectives and determiners. For example the phrase "in nocturnal Olomouc" can be said in feminine v noční Olomouci and in masculine v nočním Olomouci. This applies for standard Czech declension; the declension in various Moravian dialects differs more (e. g. genitive ). The name of the city is frequently used in the masculine gender for example in the book Velký Olomouc (1924).
 * The proper name Olomouc is usually used as a name of the district only in collocation.
