in the movie paralelny svety to say something like: really? one person asks (if i understood right) "fakt?" and the other answers: "fakt!" is this common between czech people? and does fakt means fact?
In my experience it's very common in casual speech. It seems to be used the way "really?" or "you're kidding" is in American English.
And "fakt" really means fact. There is a story about a popular Czech singer who left CR after 1968 together with some members of her band. They got to London, excited about everything they saw and commented it quite often with "fakt, jó?" (expression of disbelief). Unfortunately, its pronunciation reminds a lot of an English expression (a very rude one), so they got into a lot of trouble before finding out what caused it.
"Fakt" (both question and reply) is just slang for - "Really", "No kidding" ... And you can add "jo" which means "yes". You can hear it especially among young people like: Fáááákt??? Fáááákt jóóó?
I really laughed a lot when I read Jana's story about the Czech band members wandering around London saying 'fakt'! at everything :lol: :lol: :lol: I guess 'fakt' is kind of colloquial Czech but it's in my textbook! I think you can say 'opravdu' as well
You can say "opravdu, skutečně, samozřejmě, bezpochyby" (standard Czech), "fakt, fakticky, samo, samože, jasně, jasan" (colloquial Czech), and even "o tym žádná" (slang from Brno, so-called hantec).
