Kuulua

A few a different meanings for this verb:

1 - Kuulua = to belong, to be a part of

"Se kuuluu asiaan." = That's just part of it. (Literally: It belongs to the thing)

"Kenelle tuo kirja kuuluu?" = To whom does the book belong?

2 - Kuulua = to be heard (DO NOT CONFUSE WITH KUULLA)

"Ei kuulunut linnun laulua" = The bird's song was not heard.

3 - Kuulua = to be heard (of) - metaphorical meaning

"Hän pohti, miksi lasta ei kuulunut." = He wondered why there was no sign of a child.

[To explain further the article title was: "Ensin lasta ei kuulunut, sitten toive adoptiosta kariutui – nyt Juska Salminen, 45, on tuore isä" = "At first there was no sign of a child, then hope of adoption fell apart - now Juska Salminen, 45, is a new dad" ... so the phrase "ei kuulunut lasta" is meaning that even though they were trying for a baby, they didn't "hear" of one - i.e. there was no signs a baby was coming]

"Hänestä ei ole kuulunut mitään." - Nothing has been heard about him. [Or perhaps more natural in English: We/I haven't heard anything from him.]

4 - Mitä kuuluu? = How are you?

5 - Se ei kuulu sinulle. = It is none of your business.

...

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH THE VERB KUULLA (TO HEAR): Kuulla = to hear

"En kuullut herätyskelloa aamulla." = I didn't hear my alarm clock in the morning.

What does " passer l'éponge " mean in French ?

This expression has two meanings in French. 1. Lit. translation : To wipe [a surface] with a sponge.

"Passe l'éponge sur la table de la cuisine quand t'as fini, s'il te plait ! " // "Please, wipe the kitchen table (with the sponge) when you're done ! ".

Note : You can also say "passer un coup d'éponge" if you're not talking about deep cleaning your kitchen. 2. Passer l'éponge : to forgive and forget / to let bygones be bygones "Il a tué toute ma famille ! C'est impossible que je passe l'éponge, je ne lui pardonnerai jamais !" // "He killed my entire family ! There's no way I'm going to let it go, I'll never forgive him !"

Hey :) i just found your blog and saw that you're learning Czech too! I've just started learning Czech, so i wanted to ask whether you maybe have a Czech language learning book you can recommend that teaches basic grammar and vocab

Hi! I actually have several textbooks that I've been given/lent:

Chcete Mluvit Česky? Do you want to speak Czech? vol.1 - This an older book which might not be in print anymore from what I hear, but it is very detailed in both grammar and vocabulary: it has vocab lists, good grammar explanations, and texts and dialogues with comprehension questions. It is not as pretty to look at as other options but it does its job very well.

2. Krok za krokem vol. 1 This one is the one I use for my online Czech course, it is very learner-friendly but takes it slower on the vocabulary and on the grammar too, and we use it especially for the listening comprehensions as most exercises come with the read-out-loud version.

3. Čeština pro cizince (úroveň A1 a A2) I havent actually been using this one at all, simply because I have too many resources already. From what I've gathered looking at the index it covers pretty much all of the things one might need, and it comes with a lot of audio tracks as well. One unique exercise that separates this textbook from the rest is the inclusion of diktáty (dictations) exercises.

I hope this helps a bit! Good luck in your Czech learning journey

A Guide to Québécois Swear Words!

As a Québécoise, I have strong feelings about our swearing system and it’s fun to try to explain to people who aren’t from here, and even to France French speakers because we just do not have the same expletives. Pretty much every Québécois swear is a direct or twisted up reference to something you’d find in a church or that’s related to the Church. I haven’t actually looked into it but that may be because of the wave of secularisation that happened here in the 60’s. Keep reading for a list of common swear words, how you can string them together, and some other expressions that stem from Québécois expletives! Useful for writing Québécois characters, or just for fun if you’re into languages.

The verb ‘to swear’ in Québécois French is ‘sacrer’ which in and of itself is a reference to the Church (‘sacrer’ = ‘to make sacred’).

*OSTI or ESTI (less explicit alternatives are ‘esprit’ or ‘osprit’): originally referenced the communion wafer (l’osti). Translated, it can kind of mean ‘fucking’ as an adverb when you add ‘de’ after, ex: ‘C’est un osti de gros banc de neige’ = ‘That’s a big fucking snow bank’ or ex: ‘Il est un osti d’idiot’ = ‘He’s a fucking idiot’. ‘En osti’ is another expression that translates to the adverb ‘fucking’, ex: ‘Ça faisait peur en osti’ = ‘It was fucking scary’. ‘Osti’ can be used on its own or in a string of swears.

*CÂLISSE or CÂLICE (less explicit alternatives are ‘câlique’ or ‘câline’): originally referenced the chalice (le calice). Used on its own (when your dad breaks a glass and yells this, he’s real mad) or in a string of swears.

*TABARNAK (less explicit alternative is ‘tabarnouche’): originally referenced the cabinet that holds the ciborium which in turn holds the communion wafers (le tabernacle). Used on its own (when your mom is yelling at you to get in the car and yells this, she’s real impatient) or in a string of swears.
