| Kellie: Top 25 Czech Questions You Need to Know - Lesson 15: Do you have a cell phone? in Czech (In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Czech learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations.) |
| In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question “Do you have a cell phone?” In Czech this is |
| Martin: Máš mobilní telefon? |
| The first word in the question is |
| Martin: máš |
| Kellie: meaning “you have” in English. |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) máš |
| Kellie: Listen again and repeat. |
| Martin: máš |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |
| Martin: mobilní |
| Kellie: meaning “mobile.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) mobilní |
| Kellie: Now repeat. |
| Martin: mobilní |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: Listen to the the first 2 words of the question and repeat. |
| Martin: máš mobilní |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: And after that |
| Martin: telefon |
| Kellie: meaning “telephone”. |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) telefon |
| Kellie: Now repeat. |
| Martin: telefon |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Martin: máš mobilní telefon |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: (You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies.) Master the following pattern and responses to the question Do you have a cell phone? |
| Martin: Ano, mám iPhone. |
| Kellie: "Yes, I have an iPhone.” Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Martin: (Slow) Ano, mám iPhone. |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word: |
| Martin: ano |
| Kellie: meaning “yes.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) ano |
| Kellie: Now repeat |
| Martin: ano |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: And next |
| Martin: mám |
| Kellie: meaning “I have.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) mám |
| Kellie:Now repeat. |
| Martin: mám |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: And after that |
| Martin: iPhone |
| Kellie: which is the word “iPhone.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) iPhone |
| Kellie:Now repeat. |
| Martin: iPhone |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: Listen to the speaker say, “Yes, I have an iPhone”, and then repeat. |
| Martin: Ano, mám iPhone. |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: To use a different phrase, replace iPhone with smartphone. |
| Martin: chytrý telefon |
| Kellie: smartphone |
| Martin: (slow) chytrý telefon (regular) chytrý telefon |
| Kellie: Listen to the phrase again, this time with smartphone |
| Martin: Ano, mám chytrý telefon. |
| Kellie: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace iPhone. Say “Yes, I have an smartphone.” |
| {pause} |
| Martin: Ano, mám chytrý telefon. |
| Kellie: To use a different phrase, replace smartphone with Android. |
| Martin: Android |
| Kellie: Android |
| Martin: (slow) Android (regular) Android |
| Kellie: Listen to the phrase again, this time with Android |
| Martin: Ano, mám Android. |
| Kellie: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the word smartphone. Say “Yes, I have an Android.” |
| {pause} |
| Martin: Ano, mám Android. |
| Kellie: To expand on the pattern, replace Android with new one. |
| Martin: nový |
| Kellie: new one |
| Martin: (slow) nový (regular) nový |
| Kellie: Listen to the phrase again, this time with new one |
| Martin: Ano, mám nový. |
| Kellie: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace Android. Say “Yes, I have a new one.” |
| {pause} |
| Martin: Ano, mám nový. |
| To say "no", in a simple way, just say: |
| Martin: Ne, nemám. |
| Kellie: Which is like saying “No, I don’t”. in English. Let's hear it slowly. |
| Martin: (Slowly) Ne, nemám |
| Kellie: And one more time at normal speed: |
| Martin: Ne, nemám |

| Kellie: You want to ask that person if they have a cell phone. Ask the question |
| (5 seconds) |
| Martin: Máš mobilní telefon? |
