Declension Patterns for Masculine Animate

Okay, so let me go back to the basic.
Actually, you can find it on your text books or dictionaries, but if you can find it on-line, you don't have to go back to the paper work, right?

In Czech, there are 4 kinds of gender for nouns: Masculine Animate(Ma), Masculine Inanimate(Min), Feminine(F), and NutellaNeuter(N).

The difference between Ma and Min is if the noun is, frankly, an animal or not.
So a robot is animated thing, but as long as it is not an animal, it is counted as Min noun.
(Don't ask me the gender of a robot, please! I know there could be a very animated cute feminine looking robot in Japan, but it's not the point here!)
