Introduction
T
he Rough Guide Czech phrasebook is a highly practi-
cal introduction to the contemporary language. Laid out
in clear A-Z style, it uses key-word referencing to lead you
straight to the words and phrases you want so if you need
to book a room, just look up room. The Rough Guide gets
straight to the point in every situation, in bars and shops, on
trains and buses, and in hotels and banks.
The main part of the Rough Guide is a double dictionary:
English-Czech then Czech-English. Before that, theres a sec-
tion called Basic Phrases and to get you involved in two-way
communication, the Rough Guide includes, in this new edition,
a set of Scenario dialogues illustrating questions and responses
in key situations such as renting a car and asking directions.
You can hear these and then download them free from www.
roughguides.com/phrasebooks for use on your computer or
MP3 player.

Forming the heart of the guide, the English-Czech section
gives easy-to-use transliterations of the Czech words wherever
pronunciation might be a problem. Throughout this section,
cross-references enable you to pinpoint key facts and phrases,
while asterisked words indicate where further information can
be found in a section at the end of the book called How the
Language Works. This section sets out the fundamental rules
of the language, with plenty of practical examples. Youll also
find here other essentials like numbers, dates, telling the time
and basic phrases. In the Czech-English dictionary, weve
given you not just the phrases youll be likely to hear (starting
with a selection of slang and colloquialisms) but also many of
the signs, labels, instructions and other basic words you may
come across in print or in public places.
Near the back of the book too the Rough Guide offers an
extensive Menu Reader. Consisting of food and drink sections
(each starting with a list of essential terms), its indispensable
whether youre eating out, stopping for a quick drink, or
browsing through a local food market.

yeh
a very slight dy sound as in dew
g always hard as in goat

In Czech, the stress is always on the first syllable of the word.
When e (or ) occurs at the end of a Czech word, it is always
pronounced, for example stanice (station, stop) is pronounced
stunyitseh.
The combination m is always pronounced mnyeh.

Exceptions to the above rules are shown in the English-Czech
section of this book.
Words for human adults are either masculine or feminine:
uitel uitelka
ootchitel ootchitelka
teacher (man) teacher (woman)
Words for children and young animals are usually neuter:
dttko dt kot
dyet-yahtko dyee-tyeh kotyeh
baby child kitten
Cases
Czech has seven cases: nominative, accusative, genitive,
dative, locative, instrumental and vocative. In the English-
Czech section we have indicated which case needs to be used
with certain words and phrases. Usually, words following
prepositions change their form according to which case they
are in.
Nominative Case
The nominative is the case of the subject of a sentence. In the
following examples, obchod and Petr are in the nominative:
obchod je nyn oteven Petr pijel dnes
ophot yeh ninyee otevrjenee petr prji-yel dnes
the shop is open now Peter arrived today
Accusative Case
The object of most verbs takes the accusative. In the following
examples the object is in the accusative:
chceme vidt starou Prahu
hutsemeh vidyet sturoh pruhoo
we want to see the old part of Prague

prodahvahteh znahmki mohoo pohjeet vahsh telefon
do you sell stamps? may I use your phone?
Some prepositions indicating motion or direction towards
something are followed by the accusative:
na skrz pes
na skurs prjes
onto, to through across, through
jedeme na hory ztra
yedemeh na hori zeetra
we are going to the mountains tomorrow
pes cestu pjdu pes park
prjes tsestoo poo-iudoo prjes purk
across the road Ill walk through the park
Genitive Case
The genitive is used to indicate possession:
dopis Petra
Peters letter
There is no word for of in Czech. The genitive is used to
translate of :
lek aje tabulka okoldy
shahlek ch-eh tuboolka chokolahdi
a cup of tea a bar of chocolate
The genitive is also used after some prepositions, for example:
do u vedle
do oo vedleh
until; to by; at beside
jak se dostanu do centra?
yuk seh dostunoo do tsentra
how do I get to the centre?

Dative Case
The dative is used for indirect objects with verbs like to give
and to send. It often corresponds to to (as in to me) in
English:
koupil jsem seste brouen sklo
kohpil sem sestrjeh brohsheneh sklo
Ive bought my sister some cut glass
dal jsem mu to
dul sem moo to
I gave it to him
See the forms of Personal Pronouns on pages 247-249.
The dative is also used after some prepositions, for example:
k proti
k protyi
to, towards opposite
poslali dceru k Helen
posluli dutseroo k helenyeh
theyve sent their daughter to Helenas
je to proti kostelu
yeh to protyi kosteloo
its opposite the church
Locative Case
The locative is used with most prepositions:
na o v, ve* po
na o v, veh po
on about in, on after

* ve is used before words beginning with v or f or to ease the
running together of two consonants as in ve mst above
Instrumental Case
The instrumental is used to show by whom or by what means
an action is carried out. It is used to translate by when refer-
ring to means of transport:
pijeli jsme vlakem/autem
prji-yeli smeh vlukem/owtem
we came by train/by car
dopis poslan leteckou potou
dopis poslunee letetskoh poshtoh

The instrumental is also used with some prepositions:

Vocative Case
The vocative is used when addressing people directly:

dmy a pnov Vclave!
dahmi a pahnoveh vahtsluveh
ladies and gentlemen Vclav!
Numbers and Cases
Numbers in Czech also determine the case of the noun.
1 and all numbers ending in 1 (eg 21, 31 and so on) are fol-
lowed by a noun in the nominative singular; 2, 3, and 4 (and
all numbers ending in 2, 3 or 4) take the nominative plural; all
other numbers take the genitive plural:
jedno pivo dv piva
yedno pivo dvyeh piva
one beer two beers
ti dny dvacet jeden den
trji dni dvutset yeden den
three days 21 days
ticet sedm korun sto korun
trjitset sedum koroon sto koroon
37 crowns 100 crowns
Noun Cases
As illustrated above, noun endings change depending on the
case. The case endings used depend on the following factors:
whether the noun is masculine, feminine or neuter
whether the noun is singular or plural
whether the nominative singular ending contains a hard or
soft consonant
There are three types of consonants in Czech:
hard consonants soft consonants
d, h, ch, k, r, t, n c, , d, j, , , , t,

do not fall into the above categories.
Masculine Nouns
The case endings of masculine nouns ending in a consonant
are also dependent on whether the noun is animate (people or
animals) or inanimate (objects):
Masculine Inanimate Nouns
hard ending soft ending
singular plural singular plural

The case endings of masculine nouns ending in -a or -e are
dependent on whether the consonant preceding the final
vowel is hard or soft, but there is no distinction for animate
and inanimate nouns:

Feminine Nouns
There are two types of feminine noun endings: those preceded
by a hard consonant and those preceded by a soft consonant.
Feminine noun endings change as follows:

nom ena eny re re
jena jeni roojeh roojeh
acc enu eny ri re
jenoo jeni rooji roojeh
gen eny en re r
jeni jen roojeh roojee

instr enou enami r remi
jenoh jenumi roojee roojemi
voc eno! eny!
jeno jeni
Feminine nouns that dont have either of the above endings
(e.g. bse or radost) are declined according to the ending of
the genitive singular (which will have to be learnt) and change
as follows:

Some common irregular comparative forms:
dlouh del mal men
dloh-hee delshee mulee menshee
long longer small smaller

tive:

There are two ways of saying you in Czech: ty is the singu-
lar, familiar form used when speaking to friends, family and
children its also used among young people and students; vy
is the singular, polite form and is used to speak to strangers or
older people; vy is also the form to use when addressing more
than one person.
Personal pronouns are usually omitted when they are the
subject of a sentence but may be retained for special empha-
sis.
co kupuje? nevm
tso koopoo-yeh neveem
whats she buying? I dont know
In the following example, the pronouns ona and on are used
to avoid confusion:
ona d, ale on sp
ona rjeedyee uleh on spee
she is driving, but he is asleep
The forms of personal pronouns change according to case:
nom j ty on ona ono
yah ti on ona ono

Verbs
Verb Aspects
The basic form of the verb given in the dictionaries in this
book is the infinitive (e.g. to drive, to go etc). Most Czech
verbs have two forms known as the imperfective and perfec-
tive aspects. In the English-Czech section of this book, where
useful, the two aspects of common verbs are given in this
order:
imperfective/perfective
For example the verb to do is:
dlat [dyelut]/udlat [oodyelut]
In general the imperfective aspect is used to form what in
English would be the present and imperfect (continuous)
tenses and the future (with the future tense of bt).
The perfective aspect is used to form what in English would be
expressed by the perfect tense.
Czech regular verbs usually have one of three endings:
-at hledat to look for
-it dit to drive
consonant plus -t vzt to take/carry

To form the various tenses, the ending of the verb is removed
and appropriate endings are added to the basic stem.
Present Tense
The present tense corresponds to I leave and I am leaving in
English. Using the imperfective aspect of the verb, the conju-
gation patterns for the present tense are as follows:

The Past Tense: Imperfective and Perfective Forms
The imperfective form describes an action which is seen as
continuing:
kupovali dm
koopovuli doom
they were buying a house
The perfective form describes an action which is seen as com-
pleted:
koupili dm
kohpili doom
they bought a house
The perfective verbs can be simple, for example, vysvtlit
to explain, or with a prefix napsat to write (to finish
writing).
Perfective verbs can sometimes be identified because they look
like a simpler form of the imperfective, for example:
vysvtlovat/vysvtlit (imperfective/perfective)
vis-vyetlovut/vis-vyetlit
to explain

In many cases the dropping of the prefix (napsat pst) will
change the perfective verb into the imperfective:
pst/napsat (imperfective/perfective)
pusaht/napsut
to write
psal svmu pteli
pusul svemoo prjeeteli
he was writing to his friend
napsal svmu pteli
nupsul svemoo prjeeteli
he wrote to his friend, he has written to his friend
To form the past tense of both the imperfective and perfective
forms, use the past participle of the appropriate verb followed
by the appropriate person of the present tense of to be bt.
The exceptions to this are the third persons singular and plu-
ral, when bt is omitted.
To form the past participle for the imperfective or perfective
aspect, replace the final -t of the infinitive with one of the follow-
ing endings. There are different past tense endings for masculine,
feminine and neuter subjects, in the singular and plural:
m f n mpl fpl npl
-l -la -lo -li -ly -la
hledal jsem m/ [hledul sem] I looked for
hledala jsem f
hledal jsi m/hledala jsi f [hledul si] you looked for (sing, fam)
hledal/hledala/hledalo [hledul] he/she/it looked for
hledali jsme m/ [hleduli smeh] we looked for
hledaly jsme f
hledali jste m/ [hleduli steh] you looked for (pl or pol)
hledaly jste f
hledali m anim/ [hleduli] they looked for
hledaly f/m inan/ [hleduli]
hledala n [hledula]

vst [vest] to lead vedl [vedul]
vzt [vzeet] to take vzal [vuzul]
zat [zatcheet] to start zaal [zutchul]
Future Tense
The future tense is formed with the infinitive of the main verb
(imperfective aspect) and the future tense of to be bt:
budu [boodoo] I will be
bude [boodesh] you will be (sing, fam)
bude [boodeh] he/she/it will be
budeme [boodemeh] we will be
budete [boodeteh] you will be (pl or pol)

The future can also be expressed using the present tense of
perfective verbs. The conjugation patterns are the same as
those for the Present Tense on page 250.
dlat/udlat to do udlte to pro m?
[oo-dyelahteh to pro mnyeh]
will you do it for me?
Negatives
To form a negative sentence, add the prefix ne- to the verb or
to the appropriate form of bt:
jsem I am nejsem I am not
sem naysem
jm I eat nejm I dont eat
yeem nay-yeem
byl jsem I was nebyl jsem I was not
bil sem nebil sem
bude he/she/it will be nebude he/she/it will not be
boodeh neboodeh
Double negatives are common:
nic nothing nechtl jsem nic
nyits nehutyel sem nyits
I didnt want anything
nikdy never nikdy jsem tam nebyl/nebyla
nigdi (said by man/woman)
nigdi sem tum nebil/nebila
Ive never been there
nen it is not; there is not nikdo tam nen
nenyee nigdo tum nenyee
theres nobody there

Imperative
The imperative form of the verb is used to express a command
(such as come here!, lets go etc). Generally, to form the
familiar imperative, take the infinitive and make the following
changes, depending on whether the verb ends in -at, -it or -t:
spchat to hurry risknout to risk nst to carry
spyehut risknoht nest
spchej! riskni to! nes to!
spyehay risknyi to nes to
hurry up! risk it! carry it!
The forms of the plural or polite imperatives are as follows:
spchejte! risknte to! neste to!
spyehayteh risknyeteh to nesteh to
hurry up! risk it! carry it!
Questions
The word order in questions is often the same as in English:
co je to? mohu mluvit s Vclavem?
tso yeh to mohoo mloovit svahtsluvem
what is it? may I speak to Vclav?
Dates
Use the ordinal numbers on page 262 to express the date; the
ordinal number is always in the genitive case and follows the
declension patterns of adjectives (see pages 241-244).
prvnho dubna [purvnyeeho doobna] the first of April
tetho bezna [trjetyeeho brjezna] the third of March
dvactho prvnho ervna [dvutsahteho purvnyeeho chervna]
the twenty first of June
