Some rules for finding cheap air tickets can be found in this article.

Cheap housing

Insurance

To obtain a Schengen visa, as is known, the list of required documents includes an insurance policy for those traveling abroad.

They say that living in Russia today is unfashionable and expensive. Many brave and desperate people go to live and work abroad in distant countries, but many of us, possessing a certain sentimentality and fearing nostalgia, prefer to leave, but not far away. Where? That's right, to Europe! They choose a country closer to them, and preferably a Slavic one. One of these is the Czech Republic.

Do you need to know them?

Having arrived here, you need to say something, but how? Is it difficult to learn at least a minimum of Czech phrases? By the way, Czech is one of the richest Slavic languages ​​in the world. For comparison, the Russian language today has about 130 thousand words, and the Czech language has more than 250 thousand. Phrases in Czech are intuitively understandable to us Slavs, although many words have a certain insidiousness. For example, the Russian word “beautiful” sounds like “terrible” in Czech, the word “fresh” sounds like “stale” and the like.

But not only those who left their homeland will have to pore over a Czech textbook. Today, learning this language has simply become a fashionable trend among Russians. For those who know another Slavic language, it will be even easier to understand the Czechs and learn a few phrases in Czech.

Many go to the Czech Republic to get an education. This is one of the few countries in Europe where you can study for free, and the quality of the knowledge gained will be at the highest level on a global scale. Therefore, future students are required to know basic phrases like no one else.

Where will they come in handy?

The Czech language will be needed by everyone who deals with translations - guides, diplomats, translators working both in the country and abroad.

For tourists, learning a few phrases in Czech will not be difficult. Both the service staff in the hotel and the waiter in the restaurant will be pleased to hear the phrase in native language. And if, God forbid, you get lost in the city, general phrases will help you understand how to get to the right address, because the language will take you to Kyiv. But the Czech language is not at all difficult, and learning it is not only easy, but also fun, especially in a friendly company!

For those going on vacation to the Czech capital, it will be very useful to read our detailed manual, available at the link, which details how to properly organize your trip to Prague so that it is interesting, safe and does not go beyond your budget. In the few minutes it takes to read this article, you will learn how to save a significant amount of money without straining yourself.

Will Czechs understand Russian?

The Czech Republic is one of the most popular destinations for Russians, and most Czechs living in tourist areas will understand us perfectly. And in other cities there should be no problems... The opening of borders after the collapse of the Soviet Union contributed to the influx of emigrants to the Czech Republic, and many Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians went to live in this country. So Russians will be understood in a restaurant, in a store, and on the street. The main thing when communicating is not to forget that goodwill and a smile on your face are a disarming tool for starting absolutely any communication.

No tourist can spend their holiday without communicating at least minimally with the locals. Traveling around the Czech Republic used to be easy, since Russian was taught in schools. Now everything is different, Czechs study English and German. But it doesn’t matter: if you remember the basic Czech words for tourists, your vacation will be successful.

Our Russian-Czech phrasebook with translation and transcription includes the most necessary phrases in Czech so that you can easily communicate in a cafe, hotel, store, exchange currency or purchase the necessary tickets or services.

The Czech language belongs to the Western subgroup of Slavic languages. Its linguistic structure is in many ways reminiscent of Russian: free construction of phrases, the presence of case endings, etc. This makes it easier to understand what is being said.

Quite a lot of words sound the same, or very similar. For example, most numerals sound the same in both Russian and Czech. If they tell you: “třista dvacet”, then you will understand it absolutely correctly.

Features of pronunciation and spelling

The stress in Czech always falls on the first syllable. All unstressed vowels are pronounced clearly, just like stressed ones.

Short and long vowels. Their presence is a distinctive feature of the Czech language. Short vowels: [a], [o], [u], [e], [i], [y]. Long vowels: [á], [ó], [ú], [ů], [é], [í], [ý].

Short vowels are similar in pronunciation to the corresponding Russian stressed vowels. And long vowels last twice as long as short ones.

Consonants. There are 25 consonants in the Czech language, which are divided into two groups:

soft: [ď], [ť], [ň], [ž], [š], [s], [č], [ř], [j] hard: [b], [d], [f] , [g], [h], , [k], [l], [m], [n], [p], [r], [s], [t], [v], [z]

Consonants n, t, d.

If in the Russian language almost all consonants can be both soft and hard, then in the Czech language this rule is valid only for the consonants n, t, d, the softness of which is indicated by the letters ě, i, í, while the letter u indicates a hard pronunciation. At the end of a word and in combination with a, o, and, as well as with consonants, softness is indicated directly on the letter itself by the superscript “tick” or the already familiar “”.

Consonant sound h.

The consonant h is a voiced guttural sound, reminiscent of the Ukrainian [g].

Consonants with, š, ž.

The sound s corresponds to the Russian ts.

The consonants š and ž are similar to the Russian consonants sh and zh. Only Czech consonants are pronounced much softer. The sound č is soft, but pronounced a little harder than in Russian.

Consonant ř.

This sound can be pronounced both loudly [rzh] and dull [rsh]. It is pronounced loudly at the beginning of a word, between two vowels, after and before voiced consonants. Voiceless ř is pronounced at the end of a word, before and after voiceless consonants.

Superscripts are used to indicate some sounds:

- čárka (charka) - used to denote long vowels: vráska (wrinkle), fér (honestly, decently), úřad (state institution), móda (fashion), červený (red);

Kroužek (krouzhek) - means long [and] in the middle and at the end of words: průkaz (document, identity card), vůle (will), růže (rose);

Háček (gachek) is written:

Above sibilant consonants: čaj (tea), šanon (folder), řeka (river), žádný (none);

Above the vowel “e”: softens the previous consonants: anděl (angel), několik (several), naspěch (hastily), květina (quetina);

The syllable mě is read as “me”: měsíc (month), měna (currency).

Features of personal appeal

To denote the profession and position of women, feminine forms are used, parallel to the masculine forms: doktor - doktorka, inženýr - inženýrka, ředitel - ředitelka, učitel - učitelka. Women's surnames are formed from men's surnames using the suffixes -ová, -á: Brandl - Brandlová, Holeček - Holečková, Novotný - Novotná, Bílý - Bílá.

When addressing in the Czech language, unlike Russian, the form of the so-called vocative case is used. On the street, in a store, at a train station, etc., when addressing a man, they say: “Pane!” (mister), to a woman: paní! (madam), and to young girls: slečno! (young woman).
