I blame society
Rozvedený, divorced. Sad, really, so soon after vdaná and ženatý.
Show me the…broom!
Conjugate this!
I’m very pleased to announce a new feature on The Little Czech Primer: verb conjugations! You’ll now find that for many verbs, a full present-tense conjugation is available. This was entirely made possible through the generous contributions of the members of MyCzechRepublic.com‘s Grammar & Pronunciation forum, specifically this thread. I’m already getting corrections, so I’ll push those through as soon as I can.
Hint: I’m doing it now.
Počítat, to count. Also, to compute. Which is what I’m doing. In a way. Computering.
I know what you’re thinking
Šít, to sew. If you ignore the accents, it looks like the English ‘sit.’ If you pronounce it correctly it sounds more like the English ‘sheet.’ In between you’ve got something else entirely.
Back to some verbs
Počítat, to count.
Okay, so not a traditional Czech dish
čerstvý, fresh.
Of course you can find sushi in Prague if you want. But that should only be if you’ve had your fill of smaženy sýr smažený sýr, svíčková, and…uh…parký párky? Edit: Thanks WiX
All aboard
Příští, next. Most famously uttered a million times a day on the Metro:
“Ukončete prosím výstup a nástup, dveře se zavírají. Příští stanice Pankrác.” For more on the Prague Metro: Prague Metro at MyCzechRepublic.com.
