💡 Everything You Need to Know about Demonstrative Pronouns 1️⃣ (ten, tenhle, tenhleten)
Вставка

- I'm correcting a mistake in the video (thanks to the viewer for pointing it out!): The masculine gender differs in the accusative case for animate nouns (e.g. pán) and inanimate (e.g. strom).
Vidíš toho/tamtoho/tohoto/tohohle pána? (as in the examples in the video)
vs. Vidíš TEN/TAMTEN/TENTO/TENHLE strom?
In English it is more simple: we say "this" or "that". In Czech, we also have to think about the gender and the case. In this first part, I will demonstrate how to easily translate "that, that one over there" and "this."

Thank you so much! You explain everything so well. I know Spanish and English but I really needed an explanation for how the cases work and you make the perfect videos. It's definitely a step harder from Spanish. My grandma is from the Czech republic and one day I want to go there to see family and where she grew up. Gracias de Puerto Rico (Thanks from Puerto Rico)🇵🇷🇵🇷
ERRATA: Actually masculine differs for animate and inanimate in the accusative case (the other cases are the same for Ma and Mi as said in the video):
Masc animate acc: "Vidím TOHO pána." (as in the video)
but
Masc inanimate acc: "Vidím TEN stůl." (notice the form reuses the nominative form similarly as neuter accusative does)
True, that escaped my attention when I was preparing the video. Thank you so much for pointing it out, I will add a note to the video.
I checked the Charles University refrences as you adviced. I got really impressed. She s ranked like the one of the bests in Europe...amazing. Is it public or private
Thank you so much !! ❤

Great video!!
Could you also show us how the plural demostratives are used?
I made a pdf sheet that goes with this video (and Part 2). It contains singular and plural forms and exercises, too. www.buymeacoffee.com/czechbyzuzka/e/91194
Děkuji, wow.. nice explanation. I didn't know about formal and informal, and got confused (in Duolingo 😂) why tomto or tomhle for locative.
Glad my video helped!
Thank you very much 😊
Working through the Czech course on Duolingo and this just makes me want to cry. So far I've only really learned the nom and acc cases, and that's been confusing enough!
This is a video where I show all the cases (for those learners that are familiar with them). I'm sorry you feel overwhelmed. At this point you should only focus on the nominative and accusative and add more later when you are ready. *Pomalu, ale jistě!* (Slowly, but surely)

@@CzechbyZuzka it's ok, I'm learning for fun and have never encountered gendered language before. It's cool watching your videos every so often because I get a peek at what is to come.
How is it? Never encountered gendered language? French, Greek, Spanish, Polish, Portugal, Sweden , Italian are gendered languages.
What languages have you studied? English? LOL
@@basementcattiger6231 native english speaker, studied only Japanese up until now. Going from those two languages to Czech has been a test. Even the whole ho, jeho, ji, její, ty, vy, on, ona and all the particular ways they are used has been a lot to learn.

Děkuji!
I'm lost... this is the hardest for me... but great explanation...I just can't remember it all
It's nearly impossible to remember all the phrases. Just pick a few you found interesting and learn them.
@CzechbyZuzka I've been studying the language 20 years...my grandparents came from Czechoslovakia...I still have relatives...but unfortunately I have no one to talk with in usa
Me and my friends ly sm
Thank you for all you do. I am sure your family is very proud of you!
Thank you! It is easy when I have the right support (from you)!
Maybe it’ll be mentioned, but how does ‚tamhle‘ fit into all this?
I didn't mention it in this video because it's an adverb. It works on the same principle as tenhle, tahle, etc.
Tam = there
tamhle = over there.
Another example of an adverb:
tady = here
tadyhle = over here
@@CzechbyZuzka thank you very much! Your videos are very very helpful, I‘m german so prefixes are nothing new, but your videos clarify a lot of the questions around this and are the cherry on top of my training materials. Quite a big cherry actually…
@@nauthic3p0 I'm happy my videos are helpful for you. Keep enjoying learning Czech!
I'm confused about something. You mention that we can't say "Promluvíme si o té", but is it ok to say "Ta nám nic neřekla," where ta means "she"? I see this sentence in my textbook.
I was talking about the demonstrative pronouns. _Promluvíme si o té_ is incomplete because we need to know the reference (the words order suggests it should be té + noun).
We could, eventually, say: O té si promluvíme. - We will speak about her (=that woman) / about it (=that book) where té would work more as a personal pronoun than a demontrative pronoun.
As you mention, in your sentence "Ta nám nic neřekla", *ta* has a function of a personal pronoun and that's why in English we would translate it as *she,* not *that.*
I hope my answer clarified this for you.
@@CzechbyZuzka
Yes, that's very helpful. Thank you! Your point about word order is interesting. How
ten and ta (and their declined forms) can serve as personal pronouns seems to be a complicated issue.
You're amazing frrrr
