Did you get it right?

Hello Stephen

"neprojde dveřma" litterally means "It won't go through the door". Dveřma is a noun in the 7th case but with the informal ending -ma. The formal declination would be -mi: Neprojde dveřmi. The subject it the bed.

"Dáme ji bokem" means "Let's put her sideways (against the wall)."

We hope this was helpful. Let us know if you need anything else.

Similarly, it seems to me that 'bokem' should mean 'at the side' or maybe 'sidewise' or 'as a side', and 'ke zdi' should mean 'to the wall', not 'in the corner'. If these are idioms, don't they deserve vocabulary status? And if not idioms what are they?

I am having a little trouble figuring how to break down the sentence,

'..., neprojde dveřma'.

I understand that this is informal speech, so dictionaries and grammars, which describe formal language, don't necessarily describe it.

But ...to get the meaning of the sentence given as 'I can't place it by the door' it looks to me like

1) the subject must be the bed, with pronoun drop.

2) dveřma is acting as an adverb. (I tried to see it as case 7, but gave up. Could it be an informal declension?) The only problem is that none of my tiny dictionaries suggest this adverb exists.

3) we need a meaning for projít different than the one in my tiny dictionary.

Dear Danielle,

the new interface is an option, you can download the PDF file in the old interface, if you can still switch to it.

Meanwhile I will inquire for you about the new one and where to download the vocab.

I like the new interface but cannot find the expansion of the vocabulary, where to find it because I find this part of the vocabulary very helpful!
