Summary/Abstract: This article is a part of a large-scale contrastive study which deals with phrases with numerals as components of the phrases in German language and their pendants in Czech language. The source language is German, the target language Czech. The German phrases with the component ten and their pendants in Czech language are divided into four groups according to the level of the concordances. The frequency and other aspects of the German phrases are discussed with the aid of The Mannheim German Reference Corpus (DeReCo) and interesting examples are further commented. The usage of the phrases in Czech language is verified by The Czech National Corpus SYN2015. The aim of the research is to find out whether the phrases containing the numeral ten in German language and their equivalents in Czech language have more similarities or more differences.
