Nice video and useful like all the others! An idea for you to explain why in Czech we say "jsem SI jisty" and not "jsem jisty", like in English (I'm sure). There must be a grammatical explanation related to the use of the reflexive pronoun "SI" in this situation, but I'm not a linguist to know how to explain...Samozřejmě si přirozeně uvědomuji, že je to "nedokončené"kdybych řekl jen "jsem jistý" a nepřipojím zájmeno "SI"...ale proč?
_Se_ and _si_ in some reflexive verbs mean "oneself," so here it somewhat works as "I am sure of myself." Although, if you want to literally say 'I am sure of myself/I feel confident,' you can say 'jsem si sebou jistý'.
If you will make video about conjuctions please include these Slučovací, stupňovací Odporovací, vylučovací, vysvětlovací, důvodové, příčinné, účelové, účinkové, podminkové, připustkové, časové, způsobové, Prostředkové, výjimkové, zřetelové.
Ahoj! I have a question about the pronunciation. When you speak fast (and, in my little experience, Czechs _always_ speak fast), do you really say "neFspomínám si" (I'm writing the pronunciation) or is it ok to say "nespomínám si" (without the "f" sound)? I'm Italian and those clusters of consonants are really hard for us, so I'd like to know if I have to suffer twisting my tongue or if I can still sound ok bez ty muky. 😉
Great point! You are right, in reality, if you analyzed how the natives speak at real speed, you would barely notice the /f/ sound. If you say _'nevzpomínám si'_ fast, leaving out "f" completely is fine as nobody would hear anything strange. Thanks to the /s/ sound that comes right after /f/ and is of a similar type (both fricatives), it doesn't sound bad skipping the /f/ sound here.
Study Czech in conversations with my new e-book:

This helps me a lot thank you

@@CzechbyZuzka Moc dekuji za vysvetleni, to jsem pochopil, neco podobneho existuje i v madarstine.
If you will make video about conjuctions please include these
Slučovací, stupňovací
Odporovací, vylučovací, vysvětlovací, důvodové, příčinné, účelové, účinkové, podminkové, připustkové, časové, způsobové,
Prostředkové, výjimkové, zřetelové.
But these are not conjunctions, they are all adjectives!
These are all names of conjunctions.
I will cover these topics eventually, thanks for your input!
@@CzechbyZuzka no thanks to you😄😄😄
