Wrong about the Czech Republic AGAIN!

- After 11 years in the Czech Republic, I still get so much wrong about this country! Here are just a few of them:
00:43 The Czech flag
02:55 The Climate
03:56 How Czechs vote
05:33 How much they pay for University
07:00 The origin of the most famous non-Czech snack food
08:43 The shape of Czechoslovakia
10:26 How Czechs greet each other
Have you checked out our Dream Prague merch? www.dreamprague.com/shop Proceed's go to Tobik's toy fund :) - Zábava
"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 🥰
Jo a s vlajkou se netrap - tu neumí používat ani naši nejzarytější "vlastenci". 🤣
Faith, it warms my heart that my research was beneficial in some way to you~
Tiez myslim ze v takej krcme sa pozdravia skor ahoj vsichni ako ahoj vsem
As long as it’s not “Čau lidi!” I think any earnest greeting is totally fine 😂
@@filipes1024 To máte pravdu, ale mohli bychom dbát na správné použití, když už jsme se ho doučili a hezky po česku tahat za uši ty neználky :D Mě - po doučení se - to už dost vadí.
Just one more note: I am Czech, but I learned some things about my country from your channel too. I'm quite sure, I'm not the only one.
I am here too.
I didn't know that we stole our flag until the divorce video. xD
Taky 😃
I'm genuinely wondering how many non-Czech people watch this channel, because I feel like it's just us Czechs watching Jen talk about us 😆
Same 🤣
I am a Tunisian and I 've been watching her since I applied for a Visa to Czech Republic and here I am now in Prague and still watching her, she's doing a great job
@@rziguiaymen7519 Wow! Tunisian? How did you find out about Czech Republic? Also, I hope you like it here ☺
@@IQEGO Thanks a lot mate, I came to Czech Republic through a work contract, I work as engineer in an international company based in Prague, I really like it here, Czechia is so beautiful and so clean and it has an interesting history, if I am not mistaken a lot of Czechs visit Tunisia especially in the summer so we welcome you there and I hope you welcome me here haha 😅
@@rziguiaymen7519 Yeah, we do travel to the Tunisia in summer, that's true! :D It's beautiful and warm there :D
My skin crawl when I hear "Ahoj všem". You'll never make everyone happy :)
😂😂
Lidi budou mít problém vždycky! Tvá výhra je že si z toho umíš něco vzít 🙂 Děkuji za super videa které nám ukazují jiný pohled na nás.
It totally works not only for self reflection but also as a look from the side :)
Češi. Ne lidi
Připomínáš mi Forda Prefecta ze Stopařova průvodce po galaxii co nás dokumentuje. Za 10 let napíšeš v nějaký americký encyklopedii na jeden řádek "ČR - převážně neškodná."
😂😂😂...a "nashle! Přála bych si, abyste měli více ryb."
Za deset let už budeme mít třeba zas nějakou jinou republiku, anebo království či protektorát. My to tady dost střídáme.
@@breznik1197 haha😂😂😂
@@breznik1197 No jo, dříve se mluvilo o přejmenování na Absurdistán, poslední dobou zase padá jméno Babišistán. Uvidíme za deset let :)
@@DreamPrague It's simple : Do not say AHOJ to somebody, to whom you would NOT SAY TY, instead of VY !
To be honest, I have never heard "Ahoj všem" in my life, I didnt even know its possible, maybe it depends what part of Czech Rep. you are from.
It is also quite common to say "Zdravím všechny", literally "I greet everyone" or more loosely "Greetings to you all".
Either way, I like "Ahoj všichni", no need to change anything about it :)
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...
no třeba " ahoj všem kdo se dívají " se hodí , ale jinak je to fuk...já bych řikal " nazdárek "..))
I think it is because almost nobody in the Czech Republic would use either "Ahoj všichni" or "Ahoj všem". They would use "Ahoj vespolek".
@@keplik Seriously? Have you ever heard our biggest Czech CZcamsr, Kovy?
He always starts, "Ahoj všichni, tady Kovy". I don't think he's very unusual with it. Also, word "vespolek" is a bit archaic and not used nearly as often.
Btw. our former prime minister starts "čau lidi". For me, it is a good reason to try avoiding that greeting :D
My máme to remcání z pohádek.
"To kyselo je moc kyselý a bramboračka je moc bramborová."
O tuhle výchovu holt děti v LA přicházejí
Ty bramboráky jsou moc bramborový 😂
I když v Krkonoších se spíš pekly sejkory 🤔
Jen, you have earned my respect and appreciation for your content. You have an incredible capacity for understanding our idiosyncrasies, and you totally get our sense of humor.
Don’t let our language intimidate you, you are making progress. ❤❤❤
You're very kind! Thank you for taking the time to comment :)
I’m American, visit Czech Republic every year and LOVE your videos. You enrich my understanding of the country I’ve fallen in love with. And when you own mistakes you really sharpen my comprehension. The place is beautiful, quirky, layered, and opaque. You are a hero, and you’re funny as hell. Keep it up! Your love for the place is as unmistakable as your American heart.
Ahoj Jen, ráda se dívám na tvá videa a je fajn, že bereš to české puntičkářství až rýpavost s humorem a nadhledem. Jen tak dál - držím palce
Ahoj, všichni je lepší 🙂. A moc se mi líbí, jak statečně snášíte lidi, kteří mají patent na rozum a všude byli 2x. Prostě umíte žít v Česku 🙂.
If we're pointing out errors, at 11:56 the words on the screen say "Locative" as the explanation for what "5th case" means. The locative case is the 6th case (o kom o čem), the 5th case is the vocative case :)
Jo, to mě taky pobavilo. 🙂
(1)Nominativ, (2)Genitiv, (3)Dativ, (4)Akuzativ, (5)Vokativ, (6)Lokál, (7)Instrumentál.
As a German I feel sympathy for using the term "voting urn", because that would be exactly the same thing we call it.
😂
@@DreamPrague The same in Polish "urna wyborcza", wybory = elections.
But it is properly and officially "volební schránka", ballot box.
@@marekvasku5610 is it in Czech officially so?
As my university profesor of political science said, Czech are basically only Czech speaking Germans. 400 years of common history take their toll.
After 55 years in US I'm so impressed with just about anything you come up with about my country of birth. Keep it up. MilanO
Any plans to come back?
Dobry wieczór (albo dobranoc) wszystkim z Polski 🙂
Laughed almost from start to finish and even learnt some new (mostly) unnecessary things. Superb video, Jen
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ahoj Jen, thanks for this cool content, I am from Tunisia and I've been living in Prague for 6 months now, I learned a lot about Czechia from your videos, thank you for that
You don't have any idea how it feels to be watching a content in your 3rd language (English) to learn more about a 4th language (Czech), a lot of vocabulary to deal with, a mess in my head, Arabic and French being my 1st and 2nd language but these two won't get you anywehere here
I really appreciate you try learning Czech, wow!
@@IQEGO Děkuju ! I am trying to fit in and it is going well up to this moment
i think ahoj všichni is completely fine, it sounds better to me than ahoj všem. it's cool that you're able to approach these corrections positively and correct yourself, but i also hope it doesn't get to you. most of these are really small details that czechs would do the same as you.
01:56 ukazuješ komentáře, ale význam těch komentářů je spíš legrace z toho, že tam našli chybu a užívání si tvého vtipu s Královcem a ne kritika tvé práce.
Mě to také připadá roztomile úsměvné a jsem rád, že to tam tak bylo. Vyznělo to video ještě více vtipně a sedí to k mému humoru.
To s placením školného na (veřejné) vysoké škole. Zdarma je na bakalářském studiu 4 roky a na magisterském 3. Každým získaným titulem se to resetuje, takže můžeš mít zdarma třeba i víc titulů.
Já platila na bakalářském za 5. rok (kvůli změně oboru po 2 letech) a magisterské jsem neplatila (hotové bylo za 2 další roky).
I still miss a superthanks button here. Coz this is a golden content
You are amazing. :-) I love your videos. I am Slovak living in Cuba and always enjoy my wednesday lunch break to see your work. Thanks
What! You watch me in Cuba?? That's amazing! I've made it back to the Americas!
@@DreamPrague of course. it is my favorit moment of the day.
Having czechs as your main audience looks terrifying. I admire your patience. And I'm really glad you'll keep using ahoj všichni, it sounds so quirky, i love it.
Kdyby většina Čechů věděla o Česku to, co ty, tak by stoupla vzdělanost národa o pořádný kus.
To je teda kurva smutný
Ale většina Čechů to ví, pokud není trubka.
To je pravda. Já např. z tohoto videa nevěděl nic.
My jsme nasraní?
Nechápu....😣
That was really helpful - thank you!
This is the first video I watched on your channel. I immediately subscribed and will be doing some serious binge watching soon 😊
Love your videos & your endless efforts & patience
Stay safe & warm
You are awesome in what you're doing. I've learned so much about Czech Republic from your videos, have laughed so many times and learned so many words and facts that nobody else could do the same job for me. And that all4free!
Jen, I appreciate your time and work. Keep it up! A měj se hezky!!!
Wow, thank you! That's really lovely to hear!
@@DreamPrague you're welcome! Once again keep it up! Doing great job!

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
As a native speaker "Ahoj všichni" definitely sounds better to me than "Ahoj všem". I would say it this way too.
By the way, I've never noticed (probably because you make it look so seamless), but the editing in your videos is really quite good.
Ahoj Jen, hilarious! Thanks for your videos, love them all
Jestli na "Ahoj všichni." něco kritizovat, tak jedině to, že to všichni na konci zní poněkud tvrdě. (asi jako všichnY místo všichňi) ale jen trochu - jinak je ten pozdrav naprosto perfektní a řekl bych, že díky tvé výslovnosti cizince i naprosto jedinečný. 👍🙂
A ještě možná že to zní trochu jako "vušichni" nebo "vžichni" - protože Jen se dodnes nesmířila s tím, že počáteční "v" ztrácí znělost, takže jediná správná výslovnost je "fšichni". A to dokonce i na Moravě, kde znělost souhlásek ztrácejí opravdu zřídka a neradi.
I love your videos, Jen. :D They are informative, funny, sometimes moving...Love them!
And...if you want to keep the corrections coming...the 5th case is the vocative, not locative. (11:56). :D ...I wouldn't have said it if you didn't ask for it! :D
Jokes aside, love your content and I'm looking forward to your next video! :)
Another great video Jen. Glad to be part of the všichni gang 😉
I applaud you again for making such video! Not sure why some Czechs enjoy complaining and correcting. You do an amazing job with these videos, I am Czech and I learn from your videos! I love the end with your teacher Eliska, perfect! Thank you!
Ahoj Jen, díky za další humorně roztomilé video. Tvá videa mi vždycky dokážou zlepšit náladu, stejně jako dnes, když bojuji s chřipkovou virózou. 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. A stejně tak bereme i tebe, občanství neobčanství, jsi naše a máme tě rádi. Hezký den.
Oooh I love the tine little English lesson for the Czechs in the middle of the video! :D
I probably taught that little lesson once a week! an easy mistake to make...
I'm sorry, I don't think I quite understand your response 😅ooooooh as in the lesson itself is an easy mistake to make? I think I get it, nevermind.
Anyways, please do more of these! I feel like it makes the video a little bit more fun 😄
Great vid as usual. Your fluffy hair looks great including what appears to be frost in the front or some lighter variant. Greetings from SLO, CA USA.
Perfect, great, brilliant, wonderful and amazing new video Jan. When you pointed out "Ahoj všem" vs. "Ahoj všichni" I was like... The first is right, no the second, no the the first, no the second 😂.. And thanks to you I know now both are correct 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Jen! I wanted to say that I really appreciate that you take the time to correct yourself and admit your mistakes! I'm soon moving to Brno and you've taught me so much about Czechia and the Czechs! Thanks a lot!
Knowledge about Czechia and the Czechs are not very usable in Brno. You need knowledge about Brno. :-)
If you remember Brno is its own world within Czechia, though, you can learn as you go, like everyone else who moves to Brno. :D
Thanks for great video again Jen. I always get some new informations about my own home land :).. and Slovakia as well :). P.S. I also use "Ahoj všichni"
Ahoj Jen,také jsem se v v češích tenkrát spletla,když jsem si myslela že můj první milenec bude čech,nebyl.Byl to jeden milý,mladý a hezký slovák.
Watching you I am learning Czechs and English. I love Prague and Czechia. Greetings from neighbour Poland.
"@Dream Prague" this is unbelievable. I just learned in this video the expression "I have a receipt for that" which I haven't noticed before and in the next video I watched from another youtuber he used it wice. I learn something new every day! 👍 Great. Thanks.
It’s not a mistake until it becomes someone else’s contrast! Your vids have thousands of views and only handful comments picked these contrasts up, which means the rest didn’t know either or they don’t care. So in a way, your channel became a forerunner for contrasts where hard-core Czechs are tapping into their power to permanently express themselves online 😂😅❤ I am Czech too and you are trying to do everything perfect by the playbook, but relax, majority of Czechs drop their grammar guard right after the school, ha ha. It’s a hard language and hats off to anyone who tries to learn it. You’re doing really well and your content is well prepared and great fun! 🎉
Žádný učený z nebe nespadl! Dobrá práce Jen!
To si Ikaros myslel taky.
Hey Jen, even though I dont share some of your opinions and also dont consider myself as typical Czech, I have to say Im having lots of great fun watching your channel and admire you for not only the work it takes to produce them but also for doing your research and you enthusiasm you put into it. So keep up the good work:) Btw greetings from Ostrava. You should visit sometimes:)
Very educative! ^-^
Ahoj, jako obyčejně jsem se velmi bavil, ale jaké bylo moje zklamání s otočenou vlajkou v Královci 🤔 já si do vysvětlení myslil, že je to schválně jako "joke" 😁 vytvořený tvým naprosto skvělým humorem.
K tomu pozdravu "Ahoj všichni" - jednak nechápu proč to někdo vůbec řeší než si ověří správnost svého tvrzení, ale já to dotáhl ještě dál 😁 používám s humorem sobě vlastním pozdrav 😁"Ahoj vši ci" 😁
Díky za tvoje videa, jednak jsou luxusní a krom toho i poučná (jednak mi připomenou co jsem zapomněl - skleróza je mrch) , navíc jako bonus získám pohled očima cizince na věci které mi přijdou samozřejmé tak, že je nevnímám a to nutí k zamyšlení.
Krásný den VŠEM 😁 Tom
Flanelka! Že by se české občanství stalo skutečností? :)
Ta byla v módě možná v mém dětství, dnes už ji nosí jen staré struktury. :-)
@@breznik1197 Toz, recently it made a certain comeback...
Just out of curiosity - do you have any statistics about how many Czechs VS how many people from other countries are watching your videos?
Btw your videos are great! ❤
Hi Jen, nice hair.
Thx for the corrections, i liked the "wet painting" analogy but also once you upload that video it won't ever dry anyway XD
Hi Jen, i really love your channel. Sometimes you make mistakes but there are lovely, don't take anything from it.
You're very sweet, Lukas, thank you.
Výborné, naprosto výborné!
LOVE YOUR SHIRT :)
Perfect and informative as usual :o) "Všichni" is OK by me, I guess it must be difficult to pronounce it bc of the consonants together; takes me back to my time in Wales when I tried to pronounce the word "llyfrgell" (library) properly :o) you are much much better than me! Side note - is the shirt a statement ? :o)
Brečím smíchy 🤣. Děkuji, parádní video.
I am sending you my love! I love your videos, they are fun, well made and full full of great information. Dont let mean comments ever take the fun out of it. Kat
Well done Jen! You are diligent as a bee.
I appreciate your absolutely perfect sense of Czech humor 😁
Máme tě rádi, Jen 💜
Vážně dobré video.
Don't be harsh on yourself, the last two posts you made about the Czechoslovak history are one of the best popular videos on the topic I've ever seen ;)
be cool, we love your job, greetings from Prague :)
Super :D Thank you :)
Hello dear Jenn. Nice video. I had been watching you many times until I got fed up by myself. Now I have had a chance to get back again and I must admit that your videos not only gotten better but they are more interesting. I realy admire you how you can do this as a foreigner. I know that here is only bunch of ppl knowing all those thigs which you have mentioned in the video. So dont worry. Imma be the one who praise you a bit! Good job! Thank you, take care. I love English! Especially US one.
Hi from good old USA🇺🇲...Well,well, well...for American woman from sunny CA living in CZ you are doing great 😃👍💪.You put alot of input in your videos.
It takes a lot for foreigner to understand different cultures and make documentaries about them.
You are always going to bump into some silly details but you have my respect 😃
Keep on doing great job Jen.
Martin
"Ahoj všichni" is perfectly alright. IMHO "Ahoj všem" is the one I would be more surprised by :D But you just know you are doing something right when people have to nitpick on your creations to actually find any semblance of a flaw.
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?
Thanks God you're not saying "Ahoj každý" which would be the literal translation of "Hi everybody"...! ;-))
BTW I think this video is very instructive and informative for everybody, even for hardcore Czechs.
Super video!
Just technical on the Carpathian Ruthenia bit. At the point when Slovaks declared independence, and the remaining parts of Czech lands were invaded by Germany, the map already looked differently as a result of the Munich Agreement. You can find the details about this weird part of Czech (and Slovak) history known as the Second Republic (from autumn '38 to 15th March '39) here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Czechoslovak_Republic P.S. Your videos are great. Everybody make mistakes, don't let anyone to put you down.
Ráda se dívám na Vaše videa a vždy jich shlédnu několik najednou, tohle bylo také úžasný - pobavím se i poučím, umíte dělat výborná videa, jste ohromnej talent a jste i hodně podobná americké herečce Shawn Weatherly, která hrála v prvních dvou sériích seriálu Baywatch.
Vkládám sem i překlad z překladače, aby se Vám to lépe četlo - I love watching your videos and I always watch a few at once, this was also amazing - I'll have fun and learn, you can make great videos, you're a tremendous talent and you're a lot like american actress Shawn Weatherly, who starred in the first two series of Baywatch.
Těším se na nová videa 😊😊😊
Love how you react to the feedback and make a funny video out of it. Keep going. Thank you for making me laugh
I am a US citizen watching from the US. I love the videos. Because I recently discovered you, I have a bit of catching up to do.
I am a Czech, I never use "Ahoj všem" O.o Maybe if I would be ending a letter this way, I would send my regards like that :D Aaand, I haven't been nitpicking till now, so pardon me for a little thing: When Eliška explains the declinations, the 5th declination is Vocative. Locative is the 6th. I guess it is just a typo, but since this is an explanation of declinations... O:)
Awesome videos, though! I have learned some things I didn't really know before :D And today about the Vltava.
By the way, it is about every 2-3 years when at least one part of Vltava actually freezes enough for skating! It is the part around Libeňský ostrov where the water is not part of the main stream and is stagnant. I've been skating there since I was little and last time in 2021. It is a large area and a lot of fun to skate there. I definitely recommend trying when there's an opportunity :)
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.
Moravské slovácko ahoj fšeci.
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.
Great video Jenn
Hi Jen the Old Quibbler at your sevice again! :) Mistakes R best way to learn - U do not learn until U screw up something. Besides I was not that attentive to the details of your videos - my mistake(!) - so now I take a lesson as well. :D Doing next vidoes about Czech history U may do comparison between German Anschluss of Austria, Soviet Anschluss of Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia and Russian Anschluss of Criemea (and/or Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhie and Kherson - oblasts) and try to figure out any distinctvie differencies - I am curious what U will find out. ;) Have a great time and keep up the good work - I like the way U do it! ;)
O.Q., you're the best, thanks for loyally watching and commenting. That is a serious assignment...I'll see what I can do!
@@DreamPrague Thumbs up! ;)
Moc se mi líbí zpětné reakce na naše české "rýpání", kdy jsou opravovány zas chyby ze strany komentujících. Vždy se těším na nové video, které je nádherná nadsázka a potěcha, někdy i dloubnutí do bolavého místa. A k: "Ahoj", ještě se často používá čau všici, ať tam máme i nějaké to nářečí. Přeji krásný den
Ahoj, tvoje videá sú perfektné, ďalej pokračuj robíš nám svojou tvorbou veľkú radosť
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.
right, only: at that time (17th century) not Hungary, but an independent principality.
Yeah and adutionaly speaking the potato gnnochi dish also probably comes from Romania and also was bought to slovakia by romanian imigrants(probably around the same time)
11:55 Vocative*, locative is the sixth case. :) Great video!
As a Czech I didn't know a lot of these things! I would hang the flag the same way as you did - just turning it on the side, right? I don't understand why it should be reversed (thankfully, I don't own any flags). 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 ;)
Prosím překlad :D DThéng jů.
You have to look at it from the flag's point of view, not your own. Then it will make sense.
Vy jste v Brně, ale ne z Moravy, ne? :-) "Děcka" je na Moravě zaměnitelné s "you guys". Normálně si tak říkají i šedesátileté vesnické babičky. :-)
@@beth12svist Z Vysočiny, pidi města a ještě teda těsně z Moravy. Děcka jsme si běžně říkali ve škole mezi spolužákama, možná pak i ještě na vysoký (Brno), ale jak se člověku blíží čtyřicítka a vrstevník mě osloví jako děcko... vždycky se u toho vnitřně zasměju :D
@@dashal6709 Jo, to budou ještě regionální rozdíly. Zkušenost s babičkami z vesnice u Slavkova. :-) (Já teda sama vyrůstala ve Středních Čechách, ale z Moravy máme půl rodiny a sama jsem tu zakotvila. Ne v té vesnici, tam jenom máme příbuzné.)
Imagine being a native speaker, hearing "ahoj všichni," saying it makes your skin crawl, correcting Jen on what she *should* say, and the the official organizing body for the Czech language saying that it's totally fine 😂
Výborný, milý a vtipný díl, děkuji :) Je dobré vědět, že chybky registruješ a něco nového se o Česku naučíš. Těším se ještě na opravu hodně popleteného dílu (10 nepravd, 11 zavádějících informací) o vánočních tradicích, který šokoval nejen cizince, ale hlavně našince :D A protože ti kapři si to zaslouží ;-)
Fain nebo fajn?
Fajn nebo fine😂
Wow, water from each dam is taken from the bottom, not from the surfice, where temperature could be around 13°C all the year round. The nearest dam is Štěchovice near Zbraslav.
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 ;)
Love your shirt! 😉
Thank you!! 😁
Thank you for all your effort with the videos. Love them ♥ don't let our Czech "puntíčkářství" get to you ;-)
😊❤ watching all the way from Texas! 🇺🇸
Ahoj, diky za super video, nasmál jsem se.
Skvělé video :) Zkus si to udělat těžší a říct Čau lidi! :))
I am sure someone already pointed it out, but 5th case is called vokativ, 6th is called local, so you mixed those two into locative :)
Great video. By the way at certain voting commitees few members are being sent to collect votes to a prison if part of area its covering contains one
Seniors can ask for the "voting urn" brought to their home too. My stepmom is healthy but 91 and she was eligible to the service.
The word "urna" has the cemetery meaning here too and also URNA is Útvar rychlého nasazení (Unit of fast deploy) of Police 😁
I think your videos are fabulous, seen them for years here in Indiana. I visited CZ 20 times back in the 2010s. Had two girlfriends but never learned the language very well. Don't worry about mistakes, the media makes them all the time!!!
Jen, thank you for this video. I'm pure Czech, and I even study at university, but I also thought that after the age of 26, you have to pay for the school 😅🙈
I knew you didn't have to, but I'm pretty sure there is a limit to how many semesters you can take before you have to pay in each level of study.
yes, I think, that you can study a year longer than is normal, but after that, you have to pay. I hope, that this won't be my case. 😂
@@markos1111 THe school is to charge students for extending their studies more than an extra year, but it is rarely practiced (at least not in Olomouc form my experience). Degree completion rates are also important for university statistics, so having lots of people droppping out is not worth the headache of sucking a few thousand crowns out of struggeling students. It will depend on the school.
I didn't know that, it's interesting. I think that particularly UPOL is friendlier to students than other universities. However, I can't compare it that well because I studied only at a grammar school in Olomouc.
I am not 100% sure, but I think that till 26 everything is free. After 26 "only" your first 5+1 university years are free, more than that has to be paid (it still comes a looooot cheaper than in the US). 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. Not sure how it works if you study two schools at once (after 26) .... you know the old joke - proč jsou na ekonomce přednášky v pátek? - aby je stihli lidi z matfyzu. ;)
Jen, ty jsi ale Flanel Hezky video, dekuji.
