    I don't speak English, but your Czech is pretty good. How are you? You intrigued me. Can you write more about yourself?

    Ta osoba mu napsal ´´Mohl by jste mi na sobě napsat něco vice.´´

    Proč nenapsala ´Mohl bysteˇ´?
    Is this a regional preference?

    And could I say this=
    Ale mi to česky docela ještě nejde.?

    Stravil jsem davno chvili v Němčce.
    Vspomínám si, že slovo ´´Íchˇ´(co znamená já), se říká v severnim narodě ´´Ik´´, a v jižnim ´´Išˇ´.

    In the United States the subject pronoun ´´ýou´´ can be both singular and plural.
    But then for extra clarity, and kind of slangish, it becomes ´´you all´´
    And then in the south, it is shortened to y'all.
    A dead giveaway that somebody is froom the south.

    "By jste" is a grammatical error, very common in spoken Czech (as well as "bysem, by jsme, bysme"). Correct is "bych", "bychom" and "byste".

    Dekuji..

    To jsem neviděl. Učebnice mi učil, že bych,bys ....jsou sprvný česky,
    take mi ale učil, že cestující v Ceské Republice bude take slyěet
    by jsme, by jste atd.
    Myslel jsem si. že asi rúžné okoli dávaji přednost jedně před druhym.

    Jste takova hrdina smiřit se s mym hroznym českem. :)

    Nejsem žádná hrdinka - obdivuji každého, kdo se odhodlá učit se česky; a myslím si, že ty obzvlášť si zasloužíš všechnu pomoc a podporu.

    BTW, scrimshaw, y'all is singular in the South. For the plural, they use all y'all. :D (at least, this is true in Texas)

    hahaha... in the dirty dirty we use all y'all for the pluralized version of "y'all" too :D although when we said it a certain 8th grade English teacher, if she heard it would almost have a "Coronary" hahahaha
