| Kellie: Top 25 Czech Questions You Need to Know - Lesson 21: Are you hungry? 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 “Are you hungry?” In Czech this is |
| Martin: Máš hlad? |
| Kellie: 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: hlad |
| Kellie: meaning “hunger.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) hlad |
| Kellie: Now repeat. |
| Martin: hlad |
| {Pause} |
| Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Martin: máš hlad |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: (You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies.) Master the following pattern and responses to the question “Are you hungry?” |
| Martin: Ano, mám trochu hlad. |
| Kellie: "Yes, I'm a little hungry.” Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Martin: (Slow) Ano, mám trochu hlad. |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word: |
| Martin: ano |
| Kellie: means “yes”. |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) ano |
| Kellie: Now repeat |
| Martin: ano |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: And after that |
| Martin: mám |
| Kellie: meaning “I have”. |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) mám |
| Kellie:Now repeat. |
| Martin: mám |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: And next |
| Martin: trochu |
| Kellie: meaning “a little.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) trochu |
| Kellie:Now repeat. |
| Martin: trochu |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: And next |
| Martin: hlad |
| Kellie: meaning “hunger.” |
| Martin: (Slow, by syllable) hlad |
| Kellie:Now repeat. |
| Martin: hlad |
| {Pause} |
| Kellie: Listen to the speaker say, “Yes, I'm a little hungry”, and then repeat. |
| Martin: Ano, mám trochu hlad. |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: To use a different phrase, replace a little with very. |
| Martin: pořádný |
| Kellie: very |
| Martin: (slow) pořádný (regular) pořádný |
| Kellie: Listen to the phrase again, this time with very |
| Martin: Ano, mám pořádný hlad. |
| Kellie: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace a little. Say “Yes, I'm very hungry.” |
| {pause} |
| Martin: Ano, mám pořádný hlad. |
| Kellie: To use a different phrase, replace very with extremely. |
| Martin: strašný |
| Kellie: extremely |
| Martin: (slow) strašný (regular) strašný |
| Kellie: Listen to the phrase again, this time with extremely |
| Martin: Ano, mám strašný hlad. |
| Kellie: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace very. Say “Yes, I'm extremely hungry.” |
| {pause} |
| Martin: Ano, mám strašný hlad. |
| Kellie: To expand on the pattern, replace extremely with quite. |
| Martin: docela |
| Kellie: quite |
| Martin: (slow) docela (regular) docela |
| Kellie: Listen to the phrase again, this time with quite |
| Martin: Ano, mám docela hlad. |
| Kellie: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace extremely. Say “Yes, I'm quite hungry.” |
| {pause} |
| Martin: Ano, mám docela hlad. |
| To say "no", in a simple way, just say: |
| Martin: Ne, děkuji. |
| Kellie: Which is like saying “No, thank you.” in English. Let's hear it slowly. |
| Martin: (Slowly) Ne,děkuji. |
| Kellie: And one more time at normal speed: |
| Martin: Ne, děkuji. |
| Now it's time for a quiz. Imagine you are visiting the Czech Republic and someone asks you if you're hungry. You want to answer “Yes, I'm a little hungry”. Respond to the question. |
| Martin: Máš hlad? (five seconds) Ano, mám trochu hlad. |
| Kellie: Now you want to say Yes, I'm very hungry. Respond to the question. |
| Martin: Máš hlad? (five seconds) Ano, mám pořádný hlad. |
| Kellie: You want to say Yes, I'm extremely hungry. Answer the speaker's question. |
| Martin: Máš hlad? (five seconds) Ano, mám strašný hlad. |
| Kellie: You want to say Yes, I'm quite hungry. Respond to the question. |
| Martin: Máš hlad? (five seconds) Ano, mám docela hlad. |
| Kellie: You want to ask someone if they are hungry. Ask the question |
| (5 seconds) |
| Martin: Máš hlad? |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: Now it's time to answer the question with actual information about yourself. |
| Martin: Máš hlad? |
| {pause} |
| Kellie: This is the end of Lesson 21 |
