We did it one year while at dorm in Prague for a Christmas party.
1) You haven´t mentioned the world dollar which came from Tolar - the coin made in Kutná Hora.
2) You said nothing about contact lences invented by Otto Wichterle - the same who found silon (with some of his colleagues) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Wichterle
Horrible pronounciation, and many typos.
You should Czech out Ostrava city and it`s preserved industrial metallurgic complex Lower Vitkovice. I bet You , You have never seen anything like this.
I'm Czech, but I've never heard of an ugly sweater day in the Czech Republic. I don't even know anyone who celebrates it. No, there's really no such holiday here. Maybe just a few people, but only as a recession. I even had to Google it to find out if such a holiday even exists.
na webu mě sem tam taky překvapěj..)))))
Hello czech people ! Can i communicate any ! Its me
It´s me too..!@@gurodeboholano2136
Slovakia is Sooo wonderful while Czech Republic is just weird? There is comparative bias here impossible to ignore! I’m of Norwegian heritage and can’t ignore this!!
Yes, the 18 is wrong. I´v enever heard it here.
alright lets say it...There is no "ugly sweater day in Czech Republic"
Well, when they have trdelník as a traditional Czech Christmas pastery and showing some girls in Eastern-Slavic costumes while speaking about the Great Moravian Empire... sad, sad, sad.
Czesi to fajni ludzie, mają wielki wkład w rozwój cywilizacji. Jaroslaw Hasek był Czechem. Napisał genialną książkę, która każdemu normalnemu człowiekowi pokazuje jak się powinien zachowywać.Gdyby wszyscy na całym świecie przeczytali Przygody Dobrego Wojaka Szwejka i zrozumieli, to świat byłby piękniejszy. Pozdrawiam Braci Czechów z Polski.
Ahoj :-D
Ahoj. někde na youtube sem viděl supr song jak si z nás vy poláci děláte prču kvuli tomu pozdravu. něco ve stylu srát na to že nemáme moře stejně sme námořnici. :D
Největší příspěvek k rozvoji lidstva je Polský anime Exorcista. Nic lepšího jsem neviděl. 👍👻💀
Děkujeme za pozdrav a posíláme ho zpět
Poláci sou fajnoví, obdivuju na nic jejich nezlomnýho ducha a bojovnost. Pošlete nám sem trochu, budem to taky brzy potřebovat...
Makoša a Orlož killed me 😂😂😂
Až mám z toho chuť na olomoké cvarucky.

The pronunciation of Czech names in this video was painful to listen to. If I wouldn't see the captions I had no idea what you are saying
já se mohl pochcat smíchy 😂
Olomoucke syrecky
Ugly sweater contest is American thing. No one in Prague does that, perhaps employees of some multinational global corporate companies that are in Prague do that, but it's not a Czech thing to do it's imported.
Exactly, no one in the Czech Republic does such a competition.
Exactly. Hearing about this "Czech tradition" for the first time. No one does that.
I'm Czech, but I've never heard of an ugly sweater day in the Czech Republic...
Hy kindly let me required monthly income for staying in Czech
Too much info on Prague, the capital. But Czechia is not about Prague that much.
Too much? There we literally 7 facts about Prague out of 48 and you just can't miss Charles bridge, astronomical clock or "the city of a hundred spires, for example Christmas market are meh, but quite famous
You must be from Brno :D
@@DaweSlayerNot at all, dude.
@@stemba16 Right. But there are of course hundreds of interesting facts about the Czech republic.
I saw the Olomouc astronomical clock and I am satisfied 😊
We don't breed Lipizzaner horses in Kladruby nad Labem. We breed "Starokladrubský bělouš" (white coat) in Kladruby and "Starokladrubský vraník" (black coat version) in Slatiňany. Lipizzaner was only one of the breeds, that were used to revive Starokladrubský vraník, because it was nearly extinct (or sold out to other countries) in 1930s. This breed is our national origin, and part of UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.
I am Czech.... so, for people Who like nature, we have a great navigation system in forrestr for walkway and longer trips. I did not meet such a good system anywhere
great and unique. Yy right.
V Černé hoře mají taky turistické značky ...akorát jsou kulaté. Ovšem nevím, jak moc tu síť mají velkou...ale po každém kopci hoře, po kterých jsem lezl, tam tyhle rybí oka byly :)
Why is Trdelnik stuck with us? We never have anything to do with that thing. The only ones who say it's a traditional Czech delicacy are tourist traps
No, it is not just a trap. It is traditional, mainly in Moravia. There are some programmes for you to watch if you want to learn more about it.
@@lenkaskubova9790 It's not true. Trdelník really came to south Moravia and to Slovakia (Skalice) with immigrants from area of today's Romania, but it's not "traditional" in any way. Almost no Czech heard about it before it became a "traditional Czech cake" for tourists. You can call "traditional" dishes as "vánočka", "koláče", "frgále" etc. but never "trdelník".
My Czech brain is getting stroke from the pronunciations of these czech words 🤯🤯🤯
"Macocha" isn't pronounced the way as in video (if it would, it would have name "Makoša". Which isn't). The closer pronunciation is rather "matsocha" (where "ch" digraph doesn't have english equivalent. The closest is "ch" in scottish "loch" or "j" in "jalapeño". There's no "k" in resulted sound).
EDIT: Generaly "c" is _never_ pronounced as "k" in Czech (so "Olomouc", in video pronounced as "Olomouk", is prononounced rather as "Olomouts". For english speaker, simply replace any occuring "c" (except "ch" which is considered as one letter and has different pronunciation) as "ts", it will be much closer to correct pronunciation.
EDIT2: "Trdelnik" is not Czech thing, it is simply a tourist trap.
EDIT3: "Dačice" is pronounced as "Datshitseh" (funny, I know). I guess here strikes flexion of slavic language, because the city is "Dačice" but if you want to say "from Dačice", it is "z Dačic".
Number 18 - never heard of it.
Number 27 - correct pronunciation of "Lednice-Valtice" is rather "Lednitseh-Valtitseh" (where "n" in "Lednice" sounds like "ny" in english "canyon" and similarly softened is also "t" in "Valtice"). If it would be written as pronounced in video, it would be "Ledniči-Valtiči".
Number 39 - "Karel Čapek" should be pronounced more like "Karel Tshapek" or "Karel Czapek". Pronunciation in video would fit for "Karel Kapek"
Number 40 - I'm czech, but this I've ever seen just in YT videos, never IRL.
Number 46 - "Kamenický Šenov" ("kamenitskeeh shenov") is in video pronounced as "kamenitchkeeh seniov" (luckily for any curious visitor it is also written in video, because otherwise it wouldn't ever find it based on how it is pronounced).
Number 48 - "Mikuláš". Generaly "š" is always pronounced more like "sh" in english.
It maybe looks like "you did it only wrong", but no. Overall it was quite good, just the pronunciation is ... tricky.
I would say that the closest spalling to the pronunciation of Czech ch is kh.
@@jiritichy7967 not even close. In "ch" is not "k" at all. Any pronunciation with "k" has voiceless plosive in it (where, "k" itself is voiceless velar plosive). but "ch" is voiceless fricative.
Calling "kh" as pronunciation close to "ch" is the same as calling "P" as good alternative to "F" (difference is the same, plosive vs fricative), i.e. english "fan" would sound the same way as "pan" (which doesn't, I hope 😀).
In english exists several words with "ch", but all of them are borrowed from gaelic (either irish of scottish). Unfortunately most english speakers pronounce them wrong (e.g. most of them pronounce "loch" as "lock", I believe it is caused due to total absence of this sound in common speech in english).
@@kmartyCZ Obviously there is no k in Czech ch, English does not have that sound and it is a standard way to spell it as kh - closest possible (same for German and other languages ch, for example Farsi Sharokhi).
@@jiritichy7967 I'm just saying Darth Vader with his (inhale) breathing was closer to "CH" than using "KH" as substitute to "CH" 😀
I've heard of n.40 but I didn't know if that's true or not
Mostly correct, a few funny mistakes you made. Anyway 1) those are not "Bizarre" facts, 2) Not sure why u call it "The Strangest Country In Europe".
to be fair, it kinda is the strangest country in Europe...
@@creestofofficial2554 no it isn't but I will gladly read any real arguments on this from you
@@milancervenka3577 despite our christian history and our mainly christian neighbours (countries), most people here are atheists, also we have the biggest amount of alcohol consumed per one person, we're often joking about stuff that would seem weird to the people of other nationalities and so on...
Good evening from Prague :-) Czech words are really difficult to pronounce, aren't they? :-) Anyway - we really do not celebrate the ,,Ugly sweater day", sorry. Trdelník is not czech and most of us ignore it completely, because there are many tastier (and cheaper) traditional options (koláče, buchty, bublanina, závin, bábovka etc.). And the Beer spas are practically for tourists only, Czechs prefer the classical option :-)
May we know why you consider bizarre those 48 facts?
"The South Moravian region is famous for its wine", hey, wow, that's so bizarre, isn't it?
Yes, the Czech transportation system in the CZ is very efficient, is that really bizarre?
May we also know why all this make Czech Republic the strangest country in Europe?
About the ugly t-shirt... I guess you were joking.
Tak to mě dostalo .))) Makoša abyss v Moravském karstu .))) Oni neumí normálně přečíst písmena...Ano my jsme strangest country in Europe, a USA strangest country in the World. Tam jsou Makoši všichni .))) PS: "orlož" je taky good.
btw karst je jak se doslova anglicky rekne kras :)
Well, even if i dont mind the pronunciation of czech words, there is a lot of mistakes.
6) Havel wasnt even in Prague on 17. 11. 1989. He got more involved in the aftermath of that. 10) Trdelnik is not czech traditional pastry. 18) There is no tradition "Ugly Sweater Day". Only in the 80 we all wore ugly sweaters and we all hated it. 21) Lipizzaner horses are breeded in Kladruby, however they are not cariage pulling horses. Those are Kladruber Horses. 22) I dont think its possible to test this acustic properties due to trafic. Probably better mention would be "Kolonáda" in Kroměříž and its unique acustic properties. 38) and 45) could be in one spot. 47) "Silonky" was a czech invention. And a photo of "silonky" would be usefull.
These are the ones i picked, maybe there are more. And sorry for my mistakes in english.
you forgot the fact that Contact lenses are a Czech invention, invented by Otto Wichterle (27th October 1913 Prostějov - 18th August 1998 Stražisko) and he created the first version on a device which he made using Merkur (it is a Czech metal building toy kit, which has been sold since the mid-twenties of the 20th century
Yeah, "makoša" abyss is really deep. 😀 I never heard about some "sweater day" isn't it just another nonsense which expats living here celebrate? 😀
Pokud vím, tak se to slaví ve Skandinávii, konkrétně v Norsku. Ale nemám to ověřený, možná jde o Norskej humor, způsob, jak říct cizincum, že o nich víme hovno :)
Ale Čechy, nebo Norsko, to je přes oceán asi skoro to samý... :D
Very good review. When you decided to do a piece about the Cech republic, you should have consulted some native about the pronunciation.
No need to consult a native speaker, just write e.g. "Macocha" to the Google translate, select Czech and play the pronunciation...
Come on. It's not that hard to find the correct pronountiation. It only confuses people
Makoča, orlož :D
Tvl proč tu výslovnost musíte pořád všichni tak řešit? Tak panebože je to cizinec, kterej udělal video o Česku, NE o českém jazyce. A zrovna čeština, to fakt není jednoduchej jazyk, zvlášť na výslovnost (vždyť s tou mají problém občas i češi, natož cizinci). Pochybuju, že by se vám chtělo hledat správnou výslovnost, kdybyste dělali video o jiném státě. Zkuste si třeba maďarštinu. Buďte rádi, že se někdo zajímá o naši zemi.
Sorry že to píšu zrovna pod tenhle koment, ale mluvím ke všem, kdo tu opravují výslovnost (nechce se mi to psát jako samostatný koment, když to není cz video).
@@martinpipek11 ja bych nemel problem. pouzit text to speech u google prekladace neni tak tezky
@@martinpipek11 Protože není tak těžký zkusit najít Čecha a zeptat se ho na tyhle věci a nebo si ty výslovnosti najít. Pokud dělá FAKTY, má bejt FAKTICKY správně. Špatná výslovnost je FAKTUÁLNĚ špatně.
@@kamitsuki.6127Okej, tak ho pojďme všichni hejtovat, jak si to jenom mohl dovolit natočit video o česku a přitom si nezjistit správnou výslovnost. No to je skandál, pojďme mu dát všichni najevo tak moc nás to štve, že si ani nezjistil jak se české názvy vyslovují a že natočil jenom trapné zajímavosti.
Ještě že nejsem youtuber.
Sweater day is not really a thing, but over all pretty accurate video :)
this video will offend many czech people. Wrong pronunciation and inaccurate facts but bizzare fact 49 - we like to complain :D
f... OFFENDED people .... cheers from Czech rep
It will not offend us. It is actually funny, we are tolerant
I liked learning about The Czech Republic and hope to visit in the future
Thank you for the support! We hope you get to visit The Czech Republic anytime soon! 👌🏻🗺️
My wife visited Prague a long time ago in college before we met, and I've never been, though we definitely want to visit there again someday.
Thanks for the video! You might have added the Pravcicka Gate (Brana) in Bohemian Switzerland, Northern Bohemia. It is the largest natural rock gate in Europe. :-D
Ok as czech person i have 3 thinks. There is no think like Ugly Sweather day in czech republic, i never heard of it and i know noone who heard. Secondary, trdelník is not our traditional food, only one who think this is are tourist from western europe and honestly, we dont know why :D. It is just tourist friendly food, because its very cheap to make, very quick to prepare and you can sold it with high profit, because tourists are lazy and dont know real value of out curency. And last think, please, try to say our words correctly. I know that aour language is hard, but almost all of your czech worlds was completely incomprehensible.
But don't worry, otherwise you've done a pretty good job. Thanks for showing our country
Fun fact: Trdelník is not Czech pastry, it's actually Hungarian (totally didn't ask Wikipedia for this one). You'll see a lot of market stands in the Old Town Square, claiming it to be a traditional Old Prague pastry. That's not true, it is in fact a lie. But tourists love it. Me personally, I've never had one, but might actually buy one the next time I visit Prague again. Of course with the knowledge that it's no local :D
Plus points for pronunciation! 👍
Good video, but please, better pronunciation next time, like Karel Čapek isn't [Karl Kapk] but [Karel Chapek] 👍
2. 0:41 The Czech flag does not symbolise the historical coat of arms. The historical colours of the Czech kingdoms are red and white, the bicolour on the war banner and the white lion on the red coat of arms. These colours have been used since the 13th century, as far back as the Roman Empire and later the Austria-Hungary Empire, until the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918, part of which war Transcarpathian (today part of Ukraine).
The newly formed Poland and Austria also had red and white (previously mostly part of the Czech Kingdom). This created the need for a new flag, the blue wedge symbolizing Slovakia (today it is an independent state).
10. 2:34 The "trdelník" is not traditional, it is Hungarian and has been sold in Prague for the last 10-15 years at most. Traditional is "koláč" thin round cake with with poppy seeds, curd cheese and fruit jam. Or "chlebíček" with potato salad, egg, ham and cucumber. In English, that would be described as open sandwich.
14. 3:32 Fun fact: The "dollar" derives its name from the "tolar", which was the historical currency of the Czech kingdoms since 1520.
18. 4:37 There is no such holiday and no one wears knitted sweaters at Christmas.
Best country in Europe!!
Hey, welcome back to 'Europe In Detail'! Looking forward to exploring the Czech Republic in 2024, sounds intriguing!
Hahaha Havel leading the velvet revolution lol. He was so drunk they had to wake him up and brought him after everything was done and over.
Czech Republic isn't only Prague. I mean I love Prague, but there is so many interesting and beautifull things in whole Czechia. But I understand this is just some summary from first websites that are informing about some Czech Republic "facts"
How is it possible that he did not mentioned the biggest Czech ever lived - Jára Cimrman 🤔😁
Aaand no, we don't have any such thing like ugly sweater day...
Nice 🙂, but never heat about sweater day in december ...
The clothes showed at 4:34 is Russian, not Czech. Czech folk costumes are much less ornate.
18th, where you get this info? I am from czechia and nobody do that. Also you can say, that our trams are most used in world. We are 3rd country with most trams. First and second place are countryes where we sold our trams. That cinamon trdelník is trap for tourist and its from hungary, but if you find cheaper one, they are usualy better taste, because they arent made for tourist whose didnt know anything about trdelník. When you named czech things, propably czech willnt understand you. Czech tourist track are more complicated, they are named by colours and they arent for bikes, for bikes we have diferent tracks, tourist track connect castles, forests, cities, and much more places. Sorry for my bad english
Incredible fact about Czechia no. 49:
The propulsion of the ship using a steam engine and a screw (propeller) of his own design was patented by the Czech inventor Josef Ressel in 1827.
No. 50:
The principle of magnetron oscillation was first described in 1924 by August Žáček, a professor at the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague. The use of heating food by this principle was discovered by Percy Spencer in 1945. The first microwave oven was developed.
as fellow commenter mentioned there is nod sweater day but we ve got burning the witches day on last of april succeeded by 1st may - love day
Haha😂 I must this send my friend from Tel Aviv...crazy fun..
Czech people obviously do not like exaggeration and mispronouncing of their places.
Ty názvy jsou vážně hrozný. To se nedá poslouchat. Nepoznala bych Škoda, Olomouc neumí říct vůbec, kdo mu poradil, že nevyslovujeme koncovky? Nikdy neřekne celé slovo, hrozný. Nejsme Francouzi,kteří poradí něco polykání ve vyslovování. Smažený sýr už bych ani nepochopila . Proč to nemluvil Čech? Pomlázka. Všechno špatně, Petřín.
Okay, repairs time because this is painful to hear, I also divided them into syllables so it is easier to grasp:
The national dish. Svíčková na Smetaně, is pronounced (Sweetch ko waa na smeh tah nye).
The Moravian Karst's most famous landmark, Macocha is pronounced (Mah tsoh jah) - imagine the letter J in Spanish.
The Big Clock in Prague, Orloj, is pronounced (Or loy).
The town of Olomouc is pronounced as (Oh loh mowts) and the cheese, Olomoucké Tvarůžky are (Oh low mow tskeh Tvah roozhky) - the zh sounds like the letter J in French.
The town, where the Sugar Cubes were invented, Dačice, is pronounced (Dah chi tse).
The UNESCO Listed Area, Valtice-Lednice Cultural Landscape, is pronounced (Led nee tse - Val tee tse).
The Czech delicacy, Smažený Sýr, is pronounced (Smah zhenee Seer) - the zh sounds like the letter J in French, also much better to say Smažák (Smah zhaak) - you will sound more like a local.
The author of R. U. R., Karel Čapek, is pronounced (Kah rel Tchaa peck).
The town with the glassmaking school, Kamenický Šenov, is pronounced (Kah men itskee Sheh nov).
Other pronounciations were ok, I really liked the Petřín one. I am sorry, but it hurts and I feel like most of these could've been avoided by just searching for the pronunciation or asking a native person. Hope this helps!

or, regarding the bizarity, the Czech Railways system (and its delays) :D
Quand j'étais petit garçon, j'ai rencontré une fois une énorme tortue de la taille d'un ballon de football, et la bouche de la tortue puait parce qu'elle avait des morceaux de fibres textiles et des animaux morts dans ses dents. J'ai apporté la tortue à un vieil homme de notre rue qui était soldat. Il l'a aidée, mais la tortue est morte au bout de quelques jours. Je l'avais dans ma chambre, sous le lit, mais comme il sentait si mauvais, mon père m'a ordonné de le remettre dans la rue. Puis papa est mort aussi, cette tortue nous a porté malheur.
Traditional in Europe it is something with at least hundred years confirmed existence....not 15 - 20 years old marketing import of Trdelnik, which has origin somewhere in Balcan....
Actualy, in Czech flag red and white means colors of bohemia and blue triangel means slovakia.
You are wrong. 3 colors mean Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia.
@@josfol Ehhh... No? Flag of bohemia is white and red (like Poland) And Moravia and Silesia have they're own flag. This flag what Czech r. using today was inovated in 1920 when slovakia became part of Czechoslovakia r. (before Czecho-Slovakia r. and it using red and white, problem was, the same flag has Poland, so they added blue triang meaning Slovakia.)
@@mafian7629
Moravská vlajka má stejné barvy, červeno-bíle šachovaná orlice na modré vlajce, doložená od počátků Moravského markrabství. Žluto-červený paskvil používaný od 19.století především německy hovořícími obyvateli Moravy, kterým projevovali loajalitu ne k Českému království ale k Rakousku, jako vlajku neuznávám a stejně jako pro mnoho heraldiků má tato takzvaná moravská vlajka nulový význam a platnost.
@@josfolIt represents Slovakia. After the Czechoslovakia dissolved we just kept the flag and Slovakia made its own.
@@mafian7629 Correct. I wrote it in my own post, but not many people know it - flag of Bohemia used to be red on top and white on bottom, but it switched after 1848 as a protest against germanic/Austrian oppression.
hey everyone, when you are already in czech go visit our brothers, slovakia is good, they have mountines but no METRO ;) (underground or what you call it) :) have a good trip everyone
yeah, it's called either underground or subway kámo
The info on the flag is just not correct. The white and red are historical colors of flag of Bohemia (not coat of arms). They used to be displayed red on the top and white on the bottom, but it switched after revolution in 1848 as a protest against germanic/Austrian oppression.
In 1918 when Czechoslovakia was formed the blue triangle was added as a symbol of Slovak lands, triangle was chosen as a reference to the Slovak mountains - Tatry (from 1918 untill 1920 Slovak flag was horizontal stripes white-red-blue from the top).
Fun fact - after the Velvet revolution in 1989 both countries agreed that the Czechoslovak flag will not be used by both the Czech and the Slovak Republic, but in the end, it stayed as official flag of Czech Republic, violating this agreement.
42 - you said in Prague but showed video of Olomouc.
Thanks for the release! Like to promote the channel!!!!!!
Amazing fact of this video is it entirely leaves out the history of Christianity and naming the Churches and giving their age.
Hi 🍃
I miss eye lenses, smallpox vaccine, nanofiber, polarography and artificial vessels as an inventions :D
The speaker's pronunciation is more bizarre than any of the facts mentioned here.
how you butchering czech words 😂
He is butchering our beautiful language!
Really, only native speakers can pronounce Czech properly. Many times I've tried to get an American to say a Czech word or phrase with the correct pronunciation and cadence. Fail, fail, fail.
@@olk3 Sure, but a consultation with a Czech might've actually helped. I helped a lot of foreigners to come really close to a Czech native pronounciation.
Ugly swater day... what? I've never heard of it. For the record, I'm looking at google ads... no one is actively looking for it, I don't get the impression it's a holiday or that anyone is addressing it here.
Czechia!!!!
I feel I should explain this, despite being an American. It took years to get the somewhat cumbersome name of ''Czech Republic'' shortened to ''Czechia'' and finally it is catching on. We did the same thing to shorten USA to just ''America.''
All languages use shorten name since 1993, so the same for Czechia. Or do you say The French Republic?
Dear Milan, I think you misunderstood my intent. During the years I lived there, my Czech friends were irritated that the shortened form was not accepted more quickly. Trust me, I'm happy to say France, too!!!
A small correction - Nr. 17 :in pictures are not Czech poeople, Nr.18 :maybe in the USA but not here in the Czech Republic…My country is really wonderfull!👍
Next time either find how to pronounce czech words or try to substitute them with english equivalent. Those czech words hurt me both as a czech viewer and as someone who uses english a lot. Other than the sweater day it was nice.
Medieval Bohemian paradise and Kutná Hora will be in Kindome Come: Deliverance 2.
Number 18 is not true, at least not in my and my friend's family
Good video but...Trdelnik is not czech tradicional :D . Next time teste "valašský frgál"
czechia mentioned🗣🗣🗣
Trdelník is not traditional is from Hungary I think
im czech and i never heard of ugly sweater day...,
The pronunciation is a DISSASTTERRRR.
The biggest swinger parties are in Czech Republic 😃
Ledniči Valtyči
To je jak skok o tyči do piči, nemůžu se přestat smát.
Karl Kapek :DD. His name is Karel Čapek we. č is pronounced like CZ in Czech
ledníči-valtíči 😭😭
Guys dont try to read these named its useless, you are making clowns of yourselves
Ah yes, another person who thinks "Trdelník" is czech classic food. No it isn't, it isn't even ours.Our classic sweet food is pie, not this thing. Also, never heard of ugly sweater, only form American movies, not a thing here, lol.
oh lord, that automatic voice drives me crazy.
No, there's no "ugly sweater day" here. Just no. Not a thing here.
Myslím, že video nám ukázalo, co nám tu chybí. Takže to první co musíme udělat, je začít od letošního roku slavit hnusný svetry..... Jinak to video bude lhát a to přece nemůžeme dopustit. A komu by se to nelíbilo, tak může jít třeba skočit do Makošy. 😂🤣
I live there and the country is weird
Hello sweet soul where you from
I am from India
Multikulti reklama neni ceska tradice.
xdddddd ta výslovnost, no já se poseru
my god this video is totally dissaster, delete it
Next tine use google translator to pronounce local names and the 18. Fact ist false
It’s pronounced s-VEE ch kova.
Next to Germany
point 17 shows images of slavic traditional clothing rather than typical Czech traditional clothing typical to 19th and first half o 20th century.
point 18 is not true. There is no sweater tradition.
fact number 18 is straight up made up, I'm Czech and nobody ever here heard of this "ugly sweater day"
Tak já čekala nějaké zvláštní, podivné fakty.. asi radši nic neočekávat 😂 Praha je hlavní město, ok, ale Česká Republika má mnoho nádherných míst a Praha není nejkrásnější z nich. Taky máme poměrně bohatou historii, různé zvyky a tradice, záhadná místa, pověsti, pohádky, a spoustu dalších zajímavostí. Šlo by najít mnohem lepší body pro video o ČR. A ten "ugly sweater" je pěkná blbost, ale zase mě to nepřekvapilo, když jsou lidi schopní slavit halloween, Sv. Valentýna, atd., což nejsou české svátky, ale dotažené z ciziny 👎👎
There is nothing traditional in "Trdelník"... it is NOT Czech traditional food, it's not even of Czech origin. It's just an overprized tourist attraction, mainly sold in Prague. Just a business for tourists, nothing traditional Czech at all.
Yes, it is not easy to get used to the American pronunciation of Czech words. Purkynží, daidžoksin, Čičaja.
Someone wanted to help and wrote Purkynje fibres. Digoxin.
Czechia.
uhh... minulý rok jsme projížděli kolem Ždáru nad Sázavou a navigace řekla Zidar nat Sazabu :D
"makoša" 😂
😄 what about "DYCKY MOST"
nice list, next time please find a czech native, to read the czech words. e.g. Macocha is pronounced matsokha
Asi jdu skočit do Makoči
How can you say Czech Republic is the strangest when there is Slovakia right next door. :D
No offence to our Slovak brothers intended! :)
Trdelník isnt Czech thing.
pomoc
I don't see reason to name the video 48 "Bizarre" Facts, also the pronounciation of the czech words is kinda funny, but I don't blame you for that
