Jen, Jen, Jen... There's no "CH" in "nashledanou"... :-) (7:47) The root word is "hledat" (to search); then extended to "shledat" (to find or to meet again).
PRO TIP: The only grammatically correct way to write it is "na shledanou" (two words; "to meet /each other soon/"), or "na slyšenou" ("to hear /each other soon/"), or "na viděnou" ("to see /each other soon/"). But no worries, most Czechs mess it up as well. I'm sure the one-word version will be codified sometime in the coming decades though, as most such often-used phrases do. :-)
PS: Thanks so much for the "shut-up-on-the-public-transport" tip. I'm one of the people who absolutely hate it when people are being loud on trains, trams, subway. I wouldn't even pick up a phone on the tram, as to me and many others calling on the tram is the rudest thing ever. One can tell when someone makes a very loud call, especially when discussing private stuff, and the entire tram around them starts giggling and smiling at each other, telepathically sending each other the message "What an idiot." :-) So, dear tourists, do your best not to be the idiots in the eyes of the locals. Thanks.
If you need to call police or ambulance and you don't know exactly, where you are, find the nearest streetlamp and look for a little metal sheet with a number on it. Each lamppole has it's unique number, so the emergency operator will recognize your position.
What about calling porn studio staff ???
Most phones can be located immediately by the operator.
@@ninasazonova2511 I'm sorry, was this supposed to be funny?
Jen, emphasis on the first syllable. It will improve your Czech soooo much.
7:51 Actually, it is "Na shledanou" lit. meaning "to see/meet you again", der. from verb "shledat/potkat se". If you are leaving in angry mood and never mean to return there, you can also say "S bohem/Sbohem" lit. "with the God", meaning "we'll see each other up/down there (in heaven or hell)"...
But God doesn't exist !!! Why to use that hypocrisy???
@@ninasazonova2511 It's just a phrase, does not matter if you believe in God/s or not
Very useful video. I hope many people see it and learn something before visiting out country. I wish my Spanish friend saw it before he visited Prague. We were on a tram together and he was like: "this is so weird. Why is it so quiet here?" He also asked me why all the locals hated him. First I didn't understand then I realized he just experienced Czech customer service :-D Oh and I think people might use one more tip: Get some Czech money. Not all places accept cards.
Ani nevím, kdy naposled jsem tu měla nepříjemnou obsluhu. Jezdím několikrát ročně do ciziny a připadá mi, že se naše servírky/číšníci/prodavači chovají stejně jako jinde. I ve Španělsku. A to včetně jazykového vybavení. Nebyla jsem v USA, tam se pravděpodobně kvůli spropitnému snaží víc.
Hey Jenn!
Nice video! I hope you and Honza and Tobik had a pleasant Christmas and I wish you good luck in the New Year 2024! 😉👌👍🤞🍀🍾🍷🥂
díky znělo tvrdě jako jiné slovo dýky, což jsou ostré bojové nože :D
Again a great video, your videos always make me want to travel to Prague and the Czech Republic, which I do. Thank you, happy new year
Great video and I'm looking forward to my trip to Prague next week arriving on Monday can's wait.
These are great tips! Thanks Jen😊
Can you make a video commenting on pros and cons living in a diverse society vs a mono-culture (basically US vs CR)? That would be very interesting to see , thanks!
Jenn, may the new year bring you and Honza peace, joy, and happiness ! Jiří
Děkuji moc! To je velmi dobře video! Ja jsem jenom turista ale mám rád Prahu jako vy. Pozdravi z Argentiny!
Hi Jen, I have Google translate installed, the car is in the garage, I can thank you and ask, I don't have any money, so there's nothing to steal ........ hurrah I can go to Prague .......... ... 🤔 ............ wait a minute, I've been living here for 57 years 😂
Nice video with amazing shots of Prague
I wish you a wonderful rest of Christmas and all the best in the new year 🙂 Tom
Šťastný nový rok
Great "Prague in a nutshell" guide 👍🙂
Mila Jenn preji Tobe a manzelovi stastny novy rok, prozity ve zdravi a radosti. Zdravi Iva z Moravy🥰
Great tips
Diky, Jen! Great video!
Small notice . There shouldn't be important , if you dial 112 or 911 in Europe.. I think if You call 911, it's automatically redirected to 112.
Can we hire you as a guide when we visit Praha?
great video again. thx / diky
Kde jsou české titulky? Jsem neslyšící. Dekuji
Could you please make a video about American culture for Czechs who are interested in it? Thank you
Europe has a culture, they have song, dance, architecture and food and they are proud of it. The US has, Levi's jeans, McDonalds, mass shootings, guns and bombs and you are proud of it? Hope this helps.
I would add one more piece of advice. If you want to have a good night's sleep, be picky about your accommodation. Consider a hotel instead of an Air b'n'b, especially if you want to stay in the wider center of Prague. This is the best way to avoid wild stack parties just in a unit next to yours.
Jen, ten pozdrav na odchodu je nashledanou - na shledanou - shledat znamenena meet again, takze volne prelozeno je to neco jako let's meet again ... neni tam ch, jenom h.

💡 0:15 - If You have internet on mobile, You can use translation by camera, so no need to rewrite the text.
Great advice. Also, never take a taxi there; notorious, criminal rip offs.
OK I need the explanation of the word "expat" vs. "immigrant". I always thought I am a Czech immigrant here in the US but I might start calling myself Czech expat since it sounds fancier!? 🤔
Expat is used only when you are from better country, you are better race and generally better person than those underhumen in country you emigrated to. When you are from former communist country and you go to USA, you are always immigrant, not expact, because you are worse second grade person. 🙂
From the viewpoint of the Czech people living in Czechia, you are a Czech expat (or emigrant). From the viewpoint of Americans living in the US, you are a Czech immigrant... From your own point of view it really depens if you feel yourself more like a Czech immigrant to the US or a Czech expat... 😀
It's easy, the Americans and the British think they are too lofty to call themselves "immigrants" because that's for the "dirty, poor people from other countries that are coming into _their_ country", so they invented a new word: "expat". Which is fancy and not associated with those plebs.
I'm being kind of overly sarcastic, but that's pretty much the difference between the two words lol
Yup
. An expat is not an immigrant. Their stay is usually temporary. They also get certain tax benefits that locals do not get related to being specialist employees. They are often temporary employees brought in by a local company to work but as I said above usually highly skilled with high salaries to compensate them or make it attractive to them to come to the country to work. Expat is a rich temporary employee. Immigrant usually has intentions to stay permanently or become a citizen and integrate into society. They can be rich too but their purpose in coming to the country is to settle. Expats are usually temporary from the beginning and know they are temporary. They usually also have a special work contract. An expat will be labelled as an immigrant if they decide to stay permanently. They then have to give up their expat status in terms of the benefits/ perks etc.
2:24 Canadian tuxedo = kanadský smokink 🤣
Kocián to nosí v seriálu Osada.
Pro kanadského farmáře nebo pro českého burana je to totiž vrchol luxusní módy! 🤣
Ve videu jde evidentně o turisty.
Keep in mind that most czech people do not understand the fact, that Americans talk English but sound American !:)
😄
Já ty koloběžky občas použiju. Když. Člověk není idiot, tak to občas rychle hodí kam je Potřeba
Jan, I have to correct your farewell: Correct is „na shledanou“ (two words and without a „c“). The short form is nashle, not naschle.
Picky, picky. I say ‘naschle’ it’s totally acceptable.
Where I come from we say Prágl, ne Praha :)
@@incognitusmaximus2118 V tom případě asi říkáte "nazhle" a ne "naschle".
@@breznik1197 "nazhle" jsem neslyšel snad 40 let, když byli ještě prarodiče naživu. Já už jsem produkt ústavní indoktrinace:)
the women in the beginning gave her the "Stare" while recording in the train.
Sorry, but I think the Honest Guide channel still has the best tourist advice. I already wrote about him before. ( czcams.com/users/HONESTGUIDE ) PS: Those automatic subtitles created by AI? They are absolutely horrible.
Just by chance, I ran into Janek in the Karlova Street near the Old Town Square on one of my visits to BEAUTIFUL(!) Prague. Too bad Honza wasn't with him. I told Janek I could hardly believe I was meeting him in person after watching so many episodes of The Honest Guide. He's very friendly and outgoing - a great guy! He took a selfie of us before heading home to work on his videos. Janek and I appear at around 1:43 in this amateur photo video I made with my phone camera, and music I wrote:
czcams.com/video/_K-aRZV1ySE/video.html
Two more of my amateur Prague videos:
"The Enchanting City": czcams.com/video/SX_OqADjmEU/video.html
The Mala Strana St. Nicholas Church with a Mozart Fugue: czcams.com/video/KgAxqLgapEI/video.html
Auto-generated subtitles have been a thing on CZcams for a very long time. Much longer than buzzwords like "AI" started going mainstream... technically you could call it an AI, but it would be a gross misrepresentation. It's just some basic machine learning, it's very much not perfect but it's been here for many years and is better than nothing.
@@max2themax Thanks for explaining this. I hope for many more of people like you. I never have the patience myself. Keep it up!
I, too, like The Honest Guides but in the meanwhile they are not as useful as some years ago. Videos about the USA, other Czech cities or chasing money scammers are interesting and sometimes funny but not helpful for first time visitors.
@@tomwolf2981 Really? where are you from that you dare to write this? I live here and totally agree with their videos. I see videos of tourists grinding absolute shit. On the contrary, they show the absolute truth and if you are so stupid that you don't understand it, it is entirely your problem.
Kid muzeum?? Its a New building of National Muzeum..
8:26 sorry for being "díky" again but the correct pronunciation is somewehere around - djeeki
Proč nejsou české titulky?
protože je to propagační video města Prahy pro Američany. Jen to točila pro magistrát, měla zde video, ve které si ji pozvali na radnici kvůli spolupráci. Je to pro ni důležitý přivýdělek, aby měla na živobytí a mohla natáčet videa určená i nám ostatním.
I believe that this video just focuses solely on American tourists .
@@robertnemec9433Jen jestli nás nepomlouvá😂😂
@@karelloskot8284You bet, she does.
Na PC si muzes titulky zapnout a dat automaticky preklad do cestiny.
ok, the czechs do not drive like maniacs (we just drive like others), the issue is that Americans and Canadians are poorly trained drivers. I go my licence in Czechia, the Canadian one was laughable.
Czechs drive fine. But I can't say the same about people from Prague.
For anyone reading this. Be wary of Wolt, Bolt and Foodora drivers. They're crazy while in the hurry and can run you over. Usually they have little to no respect for crosswalks. It's unfortunately not only them who drive like maniacs in Prague. I've been almost run over in Prague 4 times this year. Doesn't happen to me while outside of Prague really.
In Moravia everyone takes extra caution when you see car plate from Prague. Can't say how they feel about it in the Bohemian region.
Czechs drive like maniacs, and Americans are not good drivers. I would definitely discourage Americans from driving in Czechia.
@@krystofk.2279 No nevím. V Praze mě na přechodu pustí zpravidla hned první auto, ať je to kdokoliv. Ale když jsem chtěl přecházet po přechodu Velkou Hradební v Ústí nad Labem, tak mě pustilo až asi dvacáté auto, a to byl zrovna Pražák, který asi nevěděl, jak to v buranovech chodí.
@@breznik1197 No jako takhle. Stalo se mi to vždycky v Nuslích. Takže je možný, že je tam specifický problém v dopravě. Osobně nevím krom mé zkušenosti. V Praze jsem jednou za měsíc.
A Ústím jsem jenom projížděl, takže nemám moc co k tomu říct.
I agree, I have toured Czechia and never encountered a bad driver. Not saying they don't exist, I never saw one.
Czech people do obey the road rules. I have no idea wtf she is talking about. I have visited Czechia and found their driving far better than other parts of Europe. The one thing you do is NEVER! take a taxi. If you are staying at a hotel always ask them to provide you an uber or their equivalent. Just be careful at the main railway station.
NO czech subs ? :(
Češi by do toho zase jen krafali. :-)
Komentář v angličtině a titulky ? V angličtině uniká mi smysl ...😢
Kolik řečí znáš, tolikrát jsi člověkem. Tohle je informační video pro Američany.
@@ivanostry3359 jasné ,ale titulky by nezaškodili ,neb kvůli návštěvě ,,dočasné" Ivanú nebylo kde a jak se jazykově vzdělat, takže bych se nenaparoval..
@@miroslavcenek653 u videa na CZcams je možno zapnout nejprve automaticky vytvořené titulky a potom automatický překlad do češtiny. Takže i když nějaké video české titulky nemá, je možno snadno nastavit, že bude mít české titulky pomocí automatického překladu.
@@jaroslavjayhampl7276 Já to zkoušel ,ale čeština v titulcích nebyla ,ale není to zase tak důležité ,jen se mi zdálo nelogické mít komentář i titulky v jednom jazyku.
@@miroslavcenek653ne, čeština ve vložených titulcích přímo není - vyberte si automatické vytvoření titulků (to bude v angličtině) a potom tam vlezte znovu a dejte Automatický překlad a vyberte že má překládat do češtiny. Je to tam, teď jsem se díval.
Safety?....I'm sorry, but after the crazy shooting at Charles University last week, everything has changed. Anyway, many local people who I know have always accused me of being too pro-American. I always told them my experience that when I was in Texas - America in 1993. So I felt very safe there thirty years ago. They said "look at the violence in American schools and how many murders there are... nothing like that can happen here in the Czech Republic" Well, you can see they were wrong. Unfortunately that it's the same here in the Czech Republic too.....
Of course every tourist goal is Karlovka. Dont panic.
Europe has a culture, they have song, dance, architecture and food and they are proud of it. The US has, Levi's jeans, McDonalds, mass shootings, guns and bombs and you are proud of it?
Be careful! She is Not honest guide
