Lina plays a waiter in a Prague pub
LinaDobrý den! Co si dáte?Hello! What will you have?
YouJedno pivo, prosím.One beer, please.
LinaHned to bude! Dáte si i něco k jídlu?Right away! Anything to eat?
✅ “Jedno pivo, prosím” = perfect - neuter “jedno” for pivo
💡 Tip: Czech has the famous ř sound (as in Dvořák). And “prosím” means please, you're welcome and pardon?
Why Czech is different
Vy vs ty
Use vy with strangers until they offer ty. Lina tells you when you've been too familiar.
Real life, not textbook
