Speaking Czech

Mluvme trošku Česky! Let's speak some Czech!

What is your name in Czech? Your family name is the same in other languages as in English. But in Czech, an extra piece is added at the end to denote a girl or woman.

Women/Girls

 

For example, Martina Navrátilová

And coming from England: Cherie Blair = Cherie Blairová

Men/Boys

 

Martina's Dad is Mr Navratil and not Mr Navrátilová as he was once called by a reporter!

Cherie's husband's name does not change: Tony Blair

Now practise:

já jsem ....
I am (add your name)
