English words or inventions come czech: Robot - invented by writer Karel Čapek for his 1920 play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots), was derived from the Czech word robota, meaning manual labor. Polka - the term for the traditional Czech dance (possilby) comes from "půlka", meaning half, referring to the tempo. The exact etymology is debated (it might also be named after the term for Polish people, Polák). Kolache - the traditional Czech pastries, from the Czech word "koláč", may not be as well known throughout the English-language world as some of the other words on this list, but they’ve been surging in popularity in southern US states recently. Howitzer - though Germanized, the term for this piece of field artillery comes from the Czech word "houfnice", which dates back to the cannons used in the 1420s Hussite Wars. Pistol - the general English-language term for a handgun or type of handgun comes from the Czech word "píšťala", which again dates back to the Hussite Wars and refers to one of the earliest examples of a firearm. Semtex - the plastic explosive was originally created for use by the Czechoslovak military in the 1960s. It's named after city SEMTín and company EXplosia. Pilsner - the term for this particular style of beer comes from Pilsner Urquell (Plzeňský Prazdroj), the world’s first-ever pilsner-style lager. Tunnelling - not in the literal sense, but when used as a term for financial fraud the word most likely dates back to Czech origins in the 1990s, when newly-privatized companies went bankrupt after management transferred assets to their own personal corporations. Pram - from Czech "prám", a flatbottomed boat Absurdistan (in Czech Absurdistán) - word created by Eastern Bloc dissidents, passed into English mainly through works of Václav Havel. Lighting rod - not only Benjamin Franklin, but also Czech Prokop Diviš, an inventor, priest, scientist and theologian, came up with the lighting rod. Methamphetamine - known as "Meth". Well, czechs are good in drugs of any kind. Nanofibers - defined as fibers with diameters less than 100 nanometers. Also nanofibres are the Czech patent. Sobering-up station - by Jaroslav Skála He was a Czech psychiatrist, fighter against alcoholism.

Psychological pricing (to be more specific - using prices such as 9 Kč instead of 10 Kč, 99 Kč instead of 100 Kč and so on) is also something that was first widely used by a Czech manufacturer of footwear, Tomáš Baťa. It's called baťovská cena (Baťa's price).

I've recently heard a story about that. Basically when they tried to sell this cartoon outside the country, they were told that it wouldn't hit with the audiance that much unless the characters were dubbed. I find that baffling as it's like trying to dub the original Charlie Chaplin movies. It was made as a pure silent slapstick comedy with an excellent use of music, both portraing emotion really well. It's almost universal language and should work really well internationally without modification. Can't imagine who came with this stupid idea. Like for example an other popular silent Czech cartoon Krteček (Little Mole) which is doing suprisingly well in Asian countries.

[@LittleBulleteye]

Hey Jen, about those thalers :) Europe in the 16th century wasn't a collection of city states without currencies, and Count Schlick surely didn't make the thalers by himself. In fact, minting coin without a commission from the King was a very sure way to get executed. The thaler became popular across Europe mainly because of its stable quality. The ratio of silver in coins was a big issue (it tended to be diluted with cheap common metals) but the thaler had a reputation of being "solid", therefore becoming the got-to coin in international trade.

Actually síť means also web. So that's probably more understandable for foreign people to get it :P It's based on web, not on network.

[@marekj1100]

It is very obviously based on ‘net’. The word ‘web’ seems to have many meanings, but hardly any of them can be expressed in Czech as ‘síť’, apart from a rather inaccurate reference to the WWW. On a sidenote, there is no Czech word specifically for ‘network’ ; we just have to say ‘net’ (síť).

[@marekj1100]

On second thoughts, if I were asked to say “síťovka” in English, I would probably go for “mesh bag”. “Net bag” sounds awkward to me, though it seems to be used enough by native speakers too, along with “mesh bag” and other options, such as “string bag” (which does not always refer to síťovka, however).

Excellent observation Jen. There is actually one more very common word widely used around the world - a pistol (a small firearm). Hussites in 15th century used very simple firearms on their "wagon walls" to defend themselves from knight riders. Due to it's similarity to "píšťala" (a whistle) they used this name for these kind of guns. Crusaders from German language countries adapted this word to better known Pistole (same nowadays in Czech)... There are obviously a lot of others inventions (lightning conductor, boat propeller, bustle, Semtex 😉 etc.), but everyone made something unique and useful.

Another great and entertaining video, thank you, Jen :) I'm from Slovakia and I wasn't aware of all those Czech inventions. I was waiting till the end to see whether you would mention the one thing I have in mind. Maybe someone has already mentioned it in the 1K+ comments, maybe not. Now, it's not an invention per se, it's not tangible, but it's something that comes from Czechia and is known in the whole world. It's a song which, in English, is called Beer Barrel Polka, or Roll out the barrel, or Here comes the Navy. Its Czech name is Škoda lásky, and it has many different names in different languages (I only know the German one - Rosamunde). I've heard that some nations consider it to be their own - kind of like Silent Night, which is Austrian. There was this one story where a Czech tourist in London was in an argument about this very topic with a double decker driver (or owner?). The driver refused to believe that this song was Czech, and he promised if this turned out to be true, he would drive a double decker to Prague. And he kept his promise! I've found the story now - apparently this happened in 1965. A double decker on Karluv most in Prague, as a result of a bet over a song. Nice :)

Hi Jen :-) very nice video :-) I'll tell you how the name Bohemia appeared. Roman historical name of area "today Czechlands" was Boiohaemum, what means "land of Boians". Boians were celtic or similar tribes (there were some cultural differences), which had lived here before Slavic tribes came here.

The reason Hieronymus Schlick named his coin "tolar" was that it's derived from the German adjective "JoachimsTHALER" which means "coming from the town of Joachimsthal" which is the German name for Jáchymov. :-) Another great video, I learned things I totally didn't know, thanks for looking up such cool things about us. :-)

Dolar je sice z Čech ale jeho název je z němčiny, protože v Jáchymově se mluvilo převážně německy. Měna se jmenovala původně "Taler" (od německého slova Tal - údolí) podle jáchymovského ůdolí (dolu).

A v latině - ve středověkém oficiálním evropském jazyce- se Česko po stovky let nazývalo Bohemia! Takže toto byl latinský název pro Čechy! Zajímavé je, že v dobách husitských válek, si husité sami odvozovali toto pojmenování od slova Boh (Bůh). Takže jsme sami sebe považovali za Bohy- respektive za národ Bohem vyvolený, tedy ten národ, který nese jeho Pravdy....

Electric tram by František Křižík was not first in the world.

[@breznik1197]

První elektrická tramvaj byla v Petrohradu v roce 1875, tedy 16 let před Křižíkovou atrakcí na Letné (v tomtéž roce 1875 byla sice zavedena v Praze tramvaj, ale koněspřežná). Autorem té petrohradské byl Fjodor Pirockij. V roce 1880 tentýž vynálezce přišel s novou koncepcí. V roce 1879 předvedla svoji tramvaj firma Siemens & Halske na berlínské průmyslové výstavě, v roce 1881 pak von Siemens zavedl poblíž Berlína pravidelnou linku, ve spolupráci s tím Rusem Pirockým. V roce 1883 pak přišli s vrchním trolejovým vedením. V roce 1883 se objevila elektrická tramvaj v Anglii, v roce 1883 v Rakousku poblíž Vídně (zde byl poprvé použit pantografový sběrač). Pak se objevovalo všude ve světě desítky nových provozů a vylepšení, Praha se mezi nimi celkem ztrácí, Křižík ve světové historii elektrických tramvají ani není nijak zvlášť zmiňován.
