Proper Czech spelling is "Koláč" and it is universal word for round type of pastry with some filling in it. There are hundreds of variants depending on area and even familly.
- spacechild1 6y agoOh, that's interesting. In austria, basically all pastry comes from Czech. The “Topfengulatsche“ is a box shaped pastry filled with curd, now I know what “Gulatsche“ actually means.
- tasuki 6y agoAnd "koláče" is already plural, no need for the "s" at the end :)
- literallycancer 6y agoThat's not why they put the e there. It's just formed the same way as couch -> couches. And English e represents i anyway, not e.
- smcl 6y agoI guess it is an anglicisation of the word, czech spelling and grammar are not so widely known outside Czech Republic. I have seen similar quirks going from English into Czech. Like how there is "sendvič" for sandwich, and "sendviče" for sandwiches ... I've seen some places here advertising "sandwiche" (applying the Czech plural to the English stem).
