@@KristianHerdi From my experience Czech and Serbian are almost the same in this regard, only incosistencies is "i" in loanwords where it does not soften the letter T, D and N if it is written after it, then the second inconsistency is B/P (ex. Srbsko [Serbia] sounds like Srpsko), V/F (ex. v [in] sounds like f) and S/Z (ex. zpráva [message] and správa [management or administration] sound the same, but those are because those letters are almost the same and it's easier to say this way, you have to force the B in Srbsko, Srpsko just rolls of the tongue better.

The vowels that have the á, é, í, ó, ú and ý also tend to count as Czech letters, which is not how it is in French or Spanish, even though French and Spanish use them except the ý on a normal basis. An example is déšť in Czech that uses three different diacritical signs when it is in lowercase. I am amazed and impressed at how the Czech alphabet and language has different diacritics.

Dobrý den a děkuju vam za lekce! I had a question, if you wouldn’t mind. For years I have wondered if there is a difference between short “I/Y” and long “Í/Ý”. Some dictionaries say the difference is in both time as well as mouth shape, in which short “I/Y” is pronounced like the short “I” in English “this” or “big”, but “Í/Ý are more open like the “ee” in English “cheese” and are longer in time. But other dictionaries say short “I/Y” and long “Í/Ý” have no difference in mouth shape, in which they are identical, pronounced like “ee” in English like “cheese”, but the difference is only that the long ones are longer in length/time. May I ask what is your opinion on the difference between short “I/Y” and long “Í/Ý”? Thank you!
@CzechforGary4 жыл бұрын
Dobrý večer, your question (please forgive me my late response) deserves more detailed explanation - I am working on it - for now, there is no difference in the sound if you pronounce them without context, just i and y or í and ý. When these vowels are in a context (in a word, surrounded by consonants), i and y will have an impact on the pronunciation. This subject deserves 2 short lessons - the new year should bring them both to you! Thank you for the inspiration!

Hi Laurence, š is pronounced as sh (Sheila, show, shepherd), whilst ř is unique to the Czech language.
