CHAPTER 1

HOWDY CZECH NAZDÁREK ČEŠTINA

Your first impression of Czechs may be that they’re cold and standoffish toward people they’ve just met, at least compared to overly familiar Americans. Maybe it’s because they live in a cold climate where they don’t see much sun for nearly half the year. But more likely it’s because they’re more formal and tend to be more polite when meeting new peeps than, let’s say, excessively friendly Americans. Once they get to know you though, you’ll find that Czechs are warm, engaging and affable.

Hello!

Dobrý den!

Dobrý den paired with a firm handshake is used when you’re meeting someone for the first time, hooking up with your friends, asking a stranger for information or any number of generic encounters you have during the course of the day. After sunset, though, you’ll want to use dobrý večer (good evening) to avoid the risk of being spotted as a dorky tourist.

Hello, what time is it?

Dobrý den, kolik je hodin, prosím?

Hi

Ahoj

Hi everyone!

Ahoj všichni!

Hey

Čau

Holla

Čus

Cheers!

Zdravíčko!

Literally,little health. You can use this one to wish someone a good day, but it’s not used when toasting.

Yo!

Hej!

Hiya!

Čauky!

Good afternoon

Dobré odpoledne

Good evening

Dobrý večer

Good night

Dobrou noc

Wassup dudes!

Nazdar frajeři!

Whaddup!

Zduř!

Howdy, sexy ladies.

Nazdárek, kočky.

Kočky literally means cats.

002

Good morning, where are my boxers? Dobré ráno, kde mám trenky?

Greetings!

Zdravím!

What’s up, dogg?

Co je, vole?

Literally, What’s up, ox? You can use this as an insult or to address a good friend. The difference is in the tone.

How ya doin’?

Jak to de?

What’s new?

Co je novýho?

What’s happening?

Co se děje?

What’s good?

Jak se daří?

How’s life?

Jak jde život?

How are you? Jak se máš?

Americans usually follow up Hello with a compulsive How are you? or How’s it going? Czech speakers, on the other hand, don’t use these questions as rote responses unless they genuinely want to know how you are, making the phrases immensely more meaningful.

Hi Dan, how’s it going today?

Ahoj Dane, jak se dnes vede?

I’m pretty
