Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In this lesson we’ll learn about a place crucial to your travels in this modern age: the Internet café! Normally, you find Internet cafés in the big cities and towns. In hotels and cafés, Wi-Fi is usually part of the service. In those cases, you may need a password in order to connect.
GRAMMAR POINT
You can ask “Excuse me, what is the password to use the Internet?” In Czech, that’s
Promiňte, jaké je heslo na internet?
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Pro-miň-te, ja-ké je hes-lo na in-ter-net?
Once more:
Promiňte, jaké je heslo na internet?
Promiňte is “Excuse me.”
Jaké means “which”.
(slow) Jaké
Jaké
The word je, just like we mentioned in previous lessons, is a present form of the verb that means “to be”.
Heslo means “the password”.
(slow) Hes-lo.
Hes-lo.
The last words na internet mean “for Internet”.
(slow) Na in-ter-net.
Na internet.
・
If you don’t carry your laptop around, you may want to ask the reception counter how much the connection costs for one hour.
“Excuse me, how much does it cost to use Internet for one hour?”
Promiňte, kolik stojí internet na hodinu?
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Pro-miň-te, ko-lik sto-jí in-ter-net na ho-di-nu?
Once more:
Promiňte, kolik stojí internet na hodinu?
You already know that Kolik means “how much” and Stojí means “to cost”.
Internet is the same as the English “the internet”.
(slow) Internet
Internet
And at the end we have the two words na hodinu which literally mean “for one hour”.
(slow) Na ho-di-nu.
Na hodinu.
“Excuse me, how much does it cost to use Internet for one hour?”
Promiňte, kolik stojí internet na hodinu?
・
The answer will probably sound something like this:
Padesát korun na hodinu.
“Fifty crowns for one hour.”
