keiron, i was reading the post over and i was talking to Karel cuz he seems to be getting mad at me ... sry!
I apologize for my error, if I am in fact in error, but that was how my Czech friends in Prague taught me to say it. I'm at a loss as to why they would have taught me incorrectly, unless it's a colloquial thing. Anyway, no big deal. I'm no super expert in the language.
i feel a love for cr as well, but i've never been there. i've lived in the usa my whole life, but my grandparents were all czech and so i always had bobalki and oplatki etc at christmas time, and my grandparents would have conversations in czech. my whole life i've been very proud to be czech but i don't know how to speak it and have never been there. plus i'm still in high school, so will probably not be going anytime soon, but i would absolutely LOVE to. anyway, that's why i'm here at this site to try to get in touch with my roots and learn the lingo.
