"Ahoj všichni" is completely fine, I don't understand why people had such a problem with it 😆. Thank you for the incredibly informative video. I'm Czech and I didn't even know about half the things you talked about, so it was a learning experience for me too. Thank you for the meticulous research 🥰

If you speak to Karel directly, you say "Ahoj Karle!" rather than "Ahoj Karlovi!"; if things get more complicated, e.g. you speak to a wider audience, Karel is not present physically but is online and you want to make the audience aware of his online presence and greet him indirectly at the same time, by addressing the whole audience rather than just Karel, you may want to say something "Ahoj taky Karlovi, who is online"... With "všichni" vs "všem", this tiny difference disappears.... But I still think "Ahoj všichni!" is more natural...

Interestingly, the voter ID is valid not just anywhere in the country but also at (almost) any Czech embassy in the world. And if you live abroad and you apply for it, your local townhall (for example if despite living abroad you still have an address in Czechia) will send it to you for free because nothing can obstruct your right to vote, not even the cost of postage. That's what I've been doing since living in Germany :) And regarding the studying for free - my father enrolled in uni when he was 50. He even got a student discount in a museum with his student ID, he was so excited :D Lastly, I HATE to be that guy but... 5th case is Vocative, 6th case is Locative (11:55) :D Please don't be mad :D

Podobně pozitivní a humorný nadhled znám pouze u jedné paní, pracující, jako rehabilitační sestřička a ta je -typicky- Slovenka 😀. Občas se stane, že jí ujede poslední vlak a pak přijde za námi, ochrankou, zda bychom ji nenechali přespat v její ordinaci. Vždycky jí vyhovíme, protože ji máme rádi právě za ten její životní optimismus. Proto, neber si nijak vážně připomínky našinců, my už jsme zkrátka takový ubrblaný národ, ale většina to nemyslí zle. Je to podobné, jako třeba s Vietnamci, děláme si z nich legraci, ale v podstatě je už dávno bereme za své, patří neodmyslitelně k obyvatelům naší kotliny.

Jen: In early 1985, local temperature in Prague went down to -27°C , and the Vltava froze. There was a cover photo on Mlady Svet of a person standing on ice on the middle of the Vltava between the Charles and Legion Bridges looking towards Narodni Divadlo. The firemen had to rescue the swans by cutting the river ice because their legs were encased in the ice. I was living near Ládvi at that time and the local water pipes were frozen, NOT inside the building but the main ones! So it is still possible to ice skate on the River, if there is a winter really cold. But normally it is not frozen in winter, if not the Alfred Nikodém Memorial could not had place every year (in 1946 the Vltava was frozen). Have you ever been there?

The Trdelnik story is actually a bit more complicated. The Skalica trdelnik is really a modified version of kurtos kalacs, which is originally from Transylvania (now part of Romania, at the time Hungary). The Skalica version is puffier, which is what makes it unique. The version sold in Prague (or elsewhere in the world) is more like the original kurtos kalacs (it's more dense), ie. the original Hungarian/Romanian version.

Hungarian Slovak trdelník was golden :D As for ahoj všichni and ahoj všem - isn't something similar in English as well? Like hello, Jen versus hello to you too... Here in Brno (I gave up and now I'm actually enjoying your teasing) I also use just ahoj lidi (hi, people). My colleague often uses ahoj děcka (which I kind of dislike and retort usually with hello, mother). For such a tiny country we have so many different ways of greeting (although mostly with vocative) so I wouldn't bother trying to please everyone. On the contrary, Libor should broaden his horizons ;)

"Voting urn" is a dictinctly less common but perfectly correct phrase in English. More typically used in a historical or ecclesiastical context where they often are ceramic (The Olomouc archbishop's museum has one made from an ostrich egg from when there was an actual elected archbishop). (I am not sure about British usage but believe I have heard it.)

You are right about the historical context: "In the Roman Republic, each voter initially gave his vote orally to an official who made a note of it on an official tablet, but later in the Republic, the secret ballot was introduced, and the voter recorded his vote with a stylus on a wax-covered boxwood tablet, then dropped the completed ballot in the sitella or urna (voting urn), sometimes also called cista." (Wiki "Ballot box")

Jen, díky za Tvá skvělá videa - člověk tuší, že je za nimi spousta hodin práce, ale kdo to nikdy nezkusil, nemá představu, jak moc je to časově náročné (osobně se dost divím, že u toho stiháš ještě pracovat, studovat a mít i nějaký společenský život 🙃). Každopádně každé Tvé video je skutečný klenot a učí i mnohé z nás Čechů/Moravanů/ Slezanů o naši vlasti. Jako správný Čech si ale samozřejmě nemohu odpustit i hnidopišskou poznámku - ohledně "ahoj všichni". Pokud skutečně chceš znít jako rodilý mluvčí, zkus to vyslovovat "ahoj fšichni" - v češtině (asi to ale už víš) existuje jev, kterému se říká spodoba znělosti - kdy souhláska ve slově mění svou znělost či neznělost v závislosti na sousedních souhláskách (přizpůsobuje se jim v jejich znělosti či neznělosti), čímž se usnadňuje výslovnost slova. Někdy může být směr tohoto přizpůsobení odlišný i regionálně - například pozdrav "Na shledanou" (tedy kombinace neznělého "s" a znělého "h") se v Čechách vyslovuje "na schledanou", zatímco na Moravě většinu "na zhledanou". Ve tvém "ahoj všichni" se potkává znělé "v" s neznělým "š" a v tomto případě se "v" ve výslovnosti změní na svůj neznělý protějšek - "f" - tedy "ahoj fšichni". Nijak tě do toho netlačím, ale zkus, že se to opravu snáze vysloví.

cizímu mluvčímu a speciálně anglickému se to vyslovuje fpohodě, protože takhle vyslovováno je to v angličtině OK, takže je na to zvyklý. Například sloveso "had" (tedy irregular past od have) se má správně vyslovit s v na konci, s čímž angličtí mluvčí problém nemají, za to čeští mluvčí mají tendenci to v určitých případech (záleží na tom, jaké slovo za had následuje) (a pokud si na to nedají pozor) vyslovit "česky," tedy s t na konci, což je samozřejmě blbě.

Ahoj Jen, možná se pletu, ale "ahoj, všichni" Čech nikdy neřekne. Pokud moje mizerné znalosti angličtiny stačí, tak jde o doslovný překlad "hallo everyone". Češi si říkají všechno možné (ahoj, čus, čau, nazdar, zdravíčko, servus, zdar, dobrý den/večer/ráno, zdravím, brej - doBREJ den), ale "ahoj všem" česky není. Osobně bych doporučil varianty "zdravím všechny", nebo prostě "ahoj", "ahoj, přátelé" nebo to nejobyčejněší - "dobrý den", nebo "dobrý den, přátelé", pokud je potřeba zapojit to anglické "everyone". Jinak děkuji za super videa, vidět se cizíma očima je nesmírně občerstvující. :)

You have my respect for studying Czech! As a Czech native speaker, I can now realize how difficult Czech is. My language feeling.. Ahoj všem = more professional, more serious and more general... On company meetings, on Czech State Radio but it's simultaneously more universal. Ahoj všichni = more friendly, more trendy, more strong, used more by teenagers, youtubers, on music festivals. It's more jovial, convivial. The speaker in front of the crowd expecting a louder response. In your case both expressions are OK 🙂 There is only a small difference ;)

The first written report and recipe for the pastry "Trdelník" comes from 1679 from Transylvania (now Romania), which at that time was an independent principality between Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. It was not part of Hungary at the time, but rather a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire. From there, the recipe later moved to Hungary and Slovakia. In 1699, Transylvania was acquired by the Habsburg Monarchy and was an autonomous principality for almost 200 years before being incorporated into Hungary. But Transylvania was colonized and populated from the 13th century by Germans (they came mainly from Rhineland and Westphalia, but also from Thuringia and Bavaria, and they started to be called Transylvanian Saxons), who were invited to defend against the Ottomans. These Germans in Transylvania baked a pastry called "Der Baumstriezel", which is the same as "Trdelník".

It practically means that you get one university degree "for free" (you either manage it till 26 or any time later), however, if you want to study longer (another school etc.) you have to pay.

Hungarians brought it to Skalice, where one cook from Sedmihradska popularized it. So "Trdelník" itself is Hungarian but "Skalický trdelník" is slovakian product
