Starting Out: Mastering Double Negatives in Czech
Mastering Double Negatives in Czech: Essential Expressions
In this episode Renča introduces the concept of double negatives in Czech language. Unlike English, Czech often requires the use of double, triple, or even quadruple negatives.
The episode focuses on six key expressions: nikdy (never), nikdo (nobody), nic (nothing), nijak (in no way), nikde (nowhere), and nikam (to nowhere). Renča provides both Czech sentences and their English translations to help you.
