thanks for the courses

[@shyambabu2102]

Thanks it’s really nice

[@ret702]

Thank you’ Czech is the most beautiful language I’ve heard, I never thought czech or other Slavic languages were beautiful such as Russian until I went to Prague and Brno.

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Thank you for watching! I'm happy you enjoy our beautiful Czech language.

I’m a 53 year old Englishman and I travelled to Prague recently for the first time. I spent a week learning some simple Czech phrases because I always feel so guilty travelling and resorting to English. Everyone was so encouraging when I said “Můžu zkusit Češtinu?”!! 😊 I fell in love with the language and have been learning as much as I can from books and videos since then. Yours are some of the very best on KZbin, huge thanks for your efforts making them! ❤️

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Hello! Thank you for this kind comment. You have the right approach and I think the phrase "Můžu zkusit češtinu" is really nice and people cannot say no to you! I wish more people had the same spirit as yours regarding learning Czech and other languages.

[@mesonparticle]

@@CzechbyZuzka I would sometimes precede the phrase with “Promiňte, jsem hloupý Angličan” or “Čeština je krásná!” which never failed to get a positive reaction! I did embarrass myself by attempting to say “Vážím si toho” but actually saying “Vařím si toho” 😂 Thankfully a helpful waiter explained my mistake and it became somewhat of a little story to tell on our trip! Keep up the wonderful work on your videos! Vážím si tě! ❤️

[@gokhankara8467]

I've begun to learn Czech before moving to Czechia because I will have been getting education by the time I arrive there. I will get it in English but I am eager to learn this language to explore the new culture and to experience this challenging journey. Your channel is so beneficial for it. Keep forward! Hezký víkend!

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Thank you so much for being a part of my community! You're doing the right thing, speaking Czech, no matter how little, will break a lot of ice and barriers with the locals. Hodně štěstí!

I love your sense of humour. These videos are very helpful, thank you.

[@drahmedahamed]

Cases remain the source of complexity which makes the language powerful and elegant. Thank you for your wonderful work!

I totally agree! Czech language is always beautifully surprising, if you are tuned to it!

They told me the same for Russian, the cases are impossible! You are right though, if you change your attitude, it is much easier to learn.

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Saying things are difficult is just an excuse for not trying hard and not opening up to the possibility it could be otherwise!

We can have more than one name.:)I liked it! Thank you for your effort, the video was cool again.

[@kuku6837]

This sounds cool! I know that in German language the nouns change their forms depending on the number and cases. But wow in Czech languages even names change their forms!!

[@CzechbyZuzka]

All the nouns (including proper names), adjectives, pronouns and numerals have cases. You can always look at it from the positive side and see it as a very rich side of the language!

[@blessingtorti7418]

Thank you so much 😭😭😭

[@MariaRepovaCommunication]

I love your videos. By any chance do you have czech lessons as well, like lessons with you? I love how you do it, and I am looking for my daughter and myself :D

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Thank you, I'm happy you're enjoying my videos! I teach Czech online, but I don't have availability at this moment. You can send me an email to [e-mail] and I will contact you when my schedule changes.

[@Kiseten_Amarzanith]

Hi Zuzka, I still don't get the meaning of "dám si", it's "I have" or "I want"? Good video btw 😉

[@CzechbyZuzka]

It corresponds to "I'll have" when you order food or drinks. Literally, it means "I'll give to myself" (dát = give).

[@awadheshvishwakarma627]

krásný večer!! Děkuji moc Zuzko!! Mám radost! I was looking for this kind of well explained topic. I am not sure whether I am right or not, check my below translation, if it is right or u can correct it. Například: We'll have two coffee/ 5 strawberries. I can say: Dáme si dvě kavu / pět jahody. Dobře nebo špatně? Děkuji!!

[@CzechbyZuzka]

The thing is, when we talk about plural (more than 1), we use different cases: Dám si 2, 3, 4 jahody/kávy... - accusative plural Dám si 5 (and more) jahod/káv... - genitive plural (if it is countable), singular if uncoutable You can check my video about counting (you probably have seen it) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5y9pJpmodOtp8U The accusative and nominative case would be the same if talk about inanimate nouns, e.g.: To jsou 2 polévky (subject of sentence, nominative case). Dám si 2 polévky (object, accusative c). Fun stuff!

[@awadheshvishwakarma627]

@@CzechbyZuzka Vow interesting. Cool. 👌👌

[@kathymallin7247]

If I am looking for a male shop assistant would I say Hledám prodavače ?

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Přesně tak! Exactly! Well done.

[@MiltonJava]

So close to Russian, even the fact that Accusative Animate changes and Feminine has an "u", like Russian у.

[@doriemonka]

How to say -This is good sparkling water -to je dobrá perlivou vodu right??

[@CzechbyZuzka]

It would actually be: _To je dobrá perlivá voda._ *Voda* is the subject of the sentences you used. It would become an object (in the accusative case) if you introduce another subject, such as: (ty) Máš ráda _perlivou vodu?_

[@blahdiblah2169]

Hledám ženu pro muj byt, ale Hledá se žena.

[@CzechbyZuzka]

Correct, the construct you mentioned is passive voice formed with the reflexive pronoun _se,_ where the object becomes the subject of the sentence. Ztratil jsem *peněženku.* -- Ztratila _se_ (mi) *peněženka.* Vařím *polévku.* -- *Polévka* _se_ vaří.
