Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In this lesson we will see a very useful phrase meaning “I don’t understand.” It is useful, of course, because many times you won’t immediately pick up on what people are saying.
GRAMMAR POINT
In Czech, “I don’t understand” is
Nerozumím.
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Ne-ro-zu-mím.
Once more:
Nerozumím.
Limited knowledge of the Czech language may be one of the reasons for not understanding. In this case say
Nerozumím česky. This expression is translated in English as “I don’t understand Czech”
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Ne-ro-zu-mím čes-ky.
Nerozumím česky.
The first word “nerozumím” means “don’t understand”
(slow) Ne-ro-zu-mím.
Ne-ro-zu-mím.
The second word “česky” means “Czech”
(slow) Čes-ky.
Česky.
Once again, it is:
Nerozumím česky.
Another way to tell someone, “I don’t speak Czech.” is
Nemluvím česky.
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Ne-mlu-vím čes-ky.
Once again:
Nemluvím česky.
The word nemluvím means “I don’t speak”.
(slow) Ne-mlu-vím.
Nemluvím.
Next we have česky, the word for “the Czech”.
Here’s the whole sentence:
(slow) Ne-mlu-vím čes-ky.
Nemluvím česky.
