Yeah it's a bit of a tongue twister if you have to say this out loud. I'm just continually encountering words I've never heard and either being completely lost or trying to relate them to something I already know. Like in that sentence:
- don't know what a "žbrnd" is
- "zdrhl" is the l-participle of some verb that I don't know
- "hrd" is not something I've seen (is it related to "hrdina" - hero - maybe?)
- "Brd" no idea
- "srn" might be like "srnec" (kind of deer) but if I heard it in a sentence I wouldn't make that connection
- "Krč" - I've seen "Krčma" as a form of pub, but idk if this word refers to that
These guesses I made are possibly miles off the mark :D
- lproven 5y agoYou're good! Better than me, but then I started old. 46 is a hell of an age to tackle your first Slavic language. There's a breakdown here on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/czech/comments/1l3tdw/new_longest_czech_sentence_composed_entirely_of/ https://www.reddit.com/r/czech/comments/1l3tdw/new_longest_c... Brd, Smrk and Krč are places. "Zdrhl": escaped; "hrd": proudly; "srn" is a doe, a female deer. Nobody seems to know "žbrnd", but this is admittedly purposely difficult language, showing off how much is possible without vowels.
- smcl 5y agoHa nice - so I got one (almost) right :D Anyway it's good to know I'm not the only one struggling through. Keep it up!
