  • 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

    "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 🥰

      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...

    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

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.

    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).

    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! 🎉

    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.

    Just to be clear - urna is used by many but it's wrong, the correct (as well as official) term is "volební schránka" - literally "election (mail)box". Those preparing the elections are especially taught to not use the word "urna", as it's mostly elderly people requesting this service and what you don't want to do is to come to them and tell them "tak jsme tu s urnou". :D

    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.

    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.

      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.

    "Voting urn" is a dictinctly less common but perfectly correct phrase in English. More typically used in a historical or ecclesiastical context where they often are ceramic (The Olomouc archbishop's museum has one made from an ostrich egg from when there was an actual elected archbishop). (I am not sure about British usage but believe I have heard it.)

    • @postcrap

      You are right about the historical context: "In the Roman Republic, each voter initially gave his vote orally to an official who made a note of it on an official tablet, but later in the Republic, the secret ballot was introduced, and the voter recorded his vote with a stylus on a wax-covered boxwood tablet, then dropped the completed ballot in the sitella or urna (voting urn), sometimes also called cista."

    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 ;)
