Let G be a finite group and let
$\chi $ be an irreducible character of G. The number 
$|G:\mathrm {ker}\chi |/\chi (1)$ is called the codegree of the character 
$\chi $. We provide several relations between the structure of G and the codegrees of the characters in a given subset of 
$\mathrm {Irr}(G)$, where 
$\mathrm {Irr}(G)$ is the set of all complex irreducible characters of G. For example, we show that if the codegrees of all strongly monolithic characters of G are odd, then G is solvable, analogous to the well-known fact that if all irreducible character degrees of a finite group are odd, then that group is solvable.
