I also wanted to thank you all for the hard work. It will definitely help me getting better. I already overflew the article and watched part of the video and it is really nice especially the vocabulary but I still have to study it more intensively.
There were many words which I have heard for the first time (in Czech and in English :-)) Thank you again. Edited by Wompi on 08 January 2013 at 8:10pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Díky, Hříbečku.
Nechat část článku s překladem na později můžu, ani to nedá víc práce. Není to špatný nápad. Může někdo mimo Českou republiku potvrdit, že to video je dostupné? Jinak přejdeme na krátké filmy z youtube. V plánu jsou zatím články o zajímavých místech, historii, zvycích a obyčejích nebo třeba popis výroby piva. Momentální situaci v Čechách raději nekomentuji, naučili byste se ode mě jenom nadávat. Třeba by se do toho pustila Cavesa. Domácí úkol zkusíme příště. Jednodušší by mohl vycházet z článku, složitější z videa - nebo obráceně, podle toho jak to vyjde. Postponing the part with translation is no problem, doesn't even mean more work. Certainly not a bad idea. Could anybody currently outside of Czech republic confirm, that the link with video is available for all? Otherwise, we would continue with short films on youtube. Currently on the map are articles about interesting places, history, customs or a description of beer production, for example. I choose not to comment on the current situation in the Czech republic. It would teach you four letter words only. Maybe Cavesa would do it? Let's try the writing assignment (homework) the next time. The simpler variant could be based on my article, the more complex one on the video (or the other way round, depending on how it goes). To Wompi Pár českých slov byl trochu problém i pro mě a našla se i taková, která jsem neznala. I had myself a bit problem with few words and there were even such I didn't know.

I understand "trough" and "crib" in the same way, but the latter sometimes turns up as a colloquialism meaning one's own home among young men or male teenagers. I understand "creche" (crèche?) as a model of the nativity scene. What you're referring to is called a "daycare (center)" or "childcare (center)" by me and my friends. My English is a mashed up North American variant thanks to having spent much time on both sides of the US-Canada border (including my education). It shows traits of what outsiders think of as American or Canadian (e.g. I normally spell "colour" (thanks to an especially strict English teacher from the UK) but in the same sentence can spell "gray" - "grey" looks a little off to me even though I am aware that it's equally correct around here). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Re jesle:
this word has in Czech several meanings 1. the "old meaning" Look at the picture here Only this is "jesle", "koryto" is different. In a stable, and in the nativity scene, the roof part wouldn't be there, naturally. The Czech Ježíšek is sleeping in "jesle", never in "koryto" or "žlab" (these both words would mean the trough). 2. crèche - childcare center for children under 3 years. 3. in football or similar, when the ball goes between the feet of the opposite player. In hockey, it is when goal happens when the puck passes between the feet of the goalkeeper. Edited by Majka on 08 January 2013 at 9:14pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Well, not writing about current situation because of the same reason. But the truth is,
that intermediate learners should learn curse words at least passively :-D 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

A new addition to "our" blog. A category named "Obtížná slova / Tricky words".
The first post in this category is simply a polished version of my last message here. Many thanks to Hříbeček for proofreading and getting the text clear. I will try to post there everything I notice in different logs, where we get into such discussion. The idea is to have one place where such words can be collected for future reference. In logs, these posts sometimes disappear fairly quickly from the view. The posts in category "Tricky words" won't be announced in the future. It is nothing really new. The blog has a feed, who wants can add it to their news reader. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I haven't had time to watch the video yet because I'm currently working nightshifts and our fabulous system administrator blocked our loudspeakers. However, I translated the text into German and added 30 words from it to my ANKI desk. The English translation was helpful but I first I tried to translate just from the Czech original and got about 80% right. By the way, the Czech "Ježíšek" is the German "Christkind". Well, and it would be really awesome if we continued to work with the blog.
I have one question: Is "jednoduše" the adverb for "jednoduchý" or simply another word with the same meaning? 1 person has voted this message useful |
