Počasí (Weather)

Dnes bylo hezky, teplo a slunečno. Šla Šel jsem do na nábřeží. Věřím, že zítra bude taky pĕknĕ.

It’s been a bright, warm sunny day in Brighton today. I spent the afternoon down on the seafront practising my unicycling, juggling and other circus skills. I hope it will be nice again tomorrow.

The chapter of my Czech course that I’m currently working on covers transport, travel and weather. It also introduces the past and future tenses. The topics mentioned in each chapter seem to be fairly random.

Here are a few more weather-related expressions in Czech, with some lovely consonant clusters:

Je mlha – there’s a mist
Je větrno – it’s windy
Prší – it’s raining
Snĕží – it’s snowing
Mrzne – It’s freezing
Slunce svítí – the sun is shining

And…
- “šla” is feminine, “šel” is masculine.
- we use “věřím, že” – where “že” stands for “that”.
…but still your Czech is better than my English :-)

It’s snowing looks like “sneezy” hehe…
(Although I guess it’s pronounced “Shnyezhi” Russian is “Sneg”)

On another note “Mrzne” (freezing) in Russian is “Moroz” which is pretty much like Czech but with vowels.

Lá breá atá againn inniu chomh mhaith. I bhfad níos fearr ná a bhfuil sé sa Spáinn.

Slunce svítí = le soleil brille

In the sentence “Šel jsem do nábřeží”, there should be “na” instead of “do”, hence “Šel jsem na nábřeží.”

Best,
