Hello everyone. I'm new here. Been a long time since I was new at a language forum. I spent several years learning Spanish. Spanish is great, I speak it everyday on the job but now I want to learn Czech. By the time I realized I was of Czech decent @ the age of 12,13,14 whenever-I asked my grandfather to teach me, but it had been so long that he had forgotten. I want to pass the language to my children, whom I already speak Spanish to-not that they are very interested but nevertheless I do. Big difference bewtween Spanish and Czech-well anyways thank you for your time and I look forward to learing from you all as I 'm sure everyone will have something to teach me along the way. Thank you, Calvario
Actually Calvario you will be surprised at some of the similarities between czech and spanish. I was. English-I like it---It is the direct object---I the subject Spanish-That pleases me-Eso me gusta--The thing that pleases is the subject. Same as in cech--To se mi libi--again--the thing that pleases is subject sp-semafora-traffic light czech-semafor-traffic light. sayings with be and have--cz and sp. prefer have I am afraid Tengo miedo Mam strach Be patient! Tenga paciencia! Mej trpelivost! To me it's all very interesting,
In Czech, you can find two expressions, matching either the English or the Spanish one: Buď trpělivý = Be patient Měj strpení = Tenga paciencia Měj trpělivost is a literal translation of the English construction (cf. popular greeting of TV Nova moderators "Mějte pěkný večer" :roll: ).
aha--uz chapu. Bez pochybu, zeny maji svou hlavu a sve zvlastni nazory. Kdyby to clovek nevedel, urcite bud je slepy nebo ma hlavu hluboky v piseku. Rada udilene opacnym pohlavim clovek by mel dobre slyset jestli nechci zit v kontrabase. :lol:
Very good to know that Spanish and czech have similarites in structure. Is Czech as reflexive as Spanish. " Me voy a lavar las manos". as an example. Anyways I'll be slow to post at first until I get a grip on the basics. Muchas gracias por tu ayuda. Me alegro de que haya gente listo para ayudar. Hasta luego amigos Y amigas Espero que la proxima vez que yo escriba podre escribir,por lo menos, en Czech. Calvario.
