Czech

Czech is an incredibly difficult language to learn, but learn these few phrases and you will get around the country a lot more easily, especially outside cities.

Even names of towns can be pronounced incorrectly very easily. Consider the name of the town Olomouc, which is pronounced ollo-moats. For more information about pronouncing see the Czech phrasebook on Wikitravel.


I don't speak Czech - Nemluvím Český [naym-loo-veem ches-kee]

Do you speak English? - Mluvíte Anglicky? [mloo-vee-teh an-glits-kee]

Hello (formal) – Dobrý den [dob-ree den]

Hello (informal) – Ahoj! [a-hoy]

Help! – Pomoc! [poh-moats]

I understand - Rozumím [roz-oo-meem]

I don’t understand – Nerozumím [nay-roz-oo-meem]

It’s also worth remembering that in Czech the emphasis is nearly always on the first syllable of a word, and hardly ever on its second or third syllable.

Numbers one - jeden / jedna / jedno two - dva / dvě three - tři four - čtyři five - pět six - šest seven - sedm - pronounced "sedum" eight - osm - pronounced "osum" nine - devět ten - deset eleven - jedenáct twelve - dvanáct thirteen - třináct fourteen - čtrnáct fifteen - patnáct sixteen - šestnáct seventeen - sedmnáct - pronounced "sedumnáct" eighteen - osmnáct - pronounced "osumnáct" nineteen - devatenáct twenty - dvacet twenty one - dvacet jedna twenty two - dvacet dva twenty three - dvacet tři thirty - třicet forty - čtyřicet fifty - padesát sixty - šedesát seventy - sedmdesát - pronounced "sedumdesát" eighty - osmdesát - pronounced "osumdesát" ninety - devadesát one hundred - sto two hundred - dvě stě three hundred - tři sta four hundred - čtyři sta five hundred - pět set
